Thermomix

A lovely light meal, chicken and spinach spaghetti. I made this recipe in the Thermomix. You know I like to also give you a ‘regular’ recipe, however I can’t find a regular version, but this is very similar: creamy chicken pesto pasta, sounds delicious.

We are on a mission to eat healthier and this is certainly one product I could make myself, being a healthier option for the kids and their lunchboxes.
