Gran was amazing at looking in the pantry and emerging with something to feed our family- I swear that lady could turn flour and water into a banquet at the drop of a hat. I'm still honing this skill and doubt very much that I will ever come close to her amazing home cooking. She did however leave this gem in her recipe book which is the perfect comfort food as well as for freezing in small portions for your little people. I think she would have been pretty thrilled to think her recipe is feeding little tummies.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 Tin Tomatoes
- 1/3 Tin of Water
- 250g Spinach- chopped
- 100g Mixed Frozen Vege
- 2 Carrots- grated or finely chopped
- 1 Head of Broccolli -stalk included (chop finely or pop in the food processor)
- 400g Chicken- diced
- 1/4 Cup Flour
- 50g Butter
- 2 1/2 Cups Milk
- 1 Cup Cream
- 150g Spaghetti Noodles broken into 3cm pieces
Make a Bechamel sauce with the flour, butter and milk. In a slow cooker, put all of the veges, water, pasta and chicken. Stir through the Bechamel sauce and add the cream. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
Serve with grated cheese and lots of cracked pepper.
- You can make this and freeze in portions for little people meals.
- Change up the veges depending on what is in season or you have in the fridge.
