Hints & Tips

Below we added some of our communities most common hints and tips.
We hope you find them useful.

Richard and creamy flavour

I made this using quorn veggie steak strips and also served it with mash and green beans rather than pasta

Add less pepper

Add less pepper if kids are having some as can be a bit too much.

I served with tagliatelle and grated gran padano on the top.

So easy and so filling. A lovely tasting dish, used chicken

I substituted beef for chicken and it was delicious, so easy

Tasty and filling

I used aubergine and courgette as I don’t like mushroom. Really easy recipe, very tasty and filling.
