Spaghetti, thick veggie sauce & Drumstick
I had a whole heap of lovely, ripe tomatoes that needed eating so threw them into a pan with onions, garlic, celery, capsicum, grated carrot and zucchini. Cooked down in wine, added a whole bunch of spinach and then blitzed.
It fascinates me how we all approach food. My boys have this thing in their heads that I serve spinach all the time. In fact, it's generally only twice a week. And it's not that they don't like spinach. It may not be their favourite thing but they are fine eating it.
If I served this sauce and they could see the spinach they would both eat it but they would both probably whinge. This time I blitzed and so the colour was - well, you can see the photo! Not a word except "mmmm, this sauce is amazing mum".
As much as I am so against hiding veggies to get kids to eat them this was just so easy. Hmmm ....
