Here's a fab, tasty dinner for the kids that really is super speedy and easy to make!

Ingredients: (serves 2 little ones)

  • 2 handfuls of chopped broccoli and cauliflower florets or frozen peas and/or corn

  • 2 handfuls of macaroni pasta - or spirals, shells and penne work just fine too

  • 2 tbsp of light cream cheese

  • Handful of grated cheese

How to make:

  1. Cook the pasta, about 5 minutes before it is done, add the vegetables and continue to cook until the vegetables and pasta are cooked. 

  2. Drain pasta reserving about 1/3 cup of the pasta liquid. 

  3. Add the cream cheese to the pasta and veggies and stir through along with the grated cheese, add a little pasta liquid to help it all mix together and make a sauce (you might not need the full 1/3 cup) and boom, its done!
