Easy and quick way to get more veg in your children!


This is anothe of my children's lunchbox staples as it's so nutritious, quick and delicious that I know I can't go wrong with it. Even my broccoli-hating husband will eat this, which for me is a great win!


It’s ready by the time the pasta has boiled and it’s a super versatile recipe. You can swap out the broccoli with any other vegetable, like courgette, peppers, aubergine, peas, etc. You can also have fun experimenting with different nuts combinations. Let me know if you find any other good ones!!!

    I would love to try this. Is the amount of water more to steam the broccoli or is it to cook it and you drain it out?

      Hi Gail, glad you like the recipe. That's a very good question and it's just to steam the broccoli, not properly boil it, and by the time it's steamed the water has almost evaporated anyhow. Hope that helps!
