Mushroom Gnocchi + Pesto
This is the only way my kids will eat gnocchi, they don’t really like the mushrooms, more because of their texture as I think they like the flavour they give the gnocchi in this dinner. I love the simplicity and minimal ingredients in this dinner, no need for a big grocery list or long prep. You could add in some finely diced garlic and onion just before adding the mushrooms, or even stir through some baby spinach at the end.

WHERE TO BUY KIDS BAMBOO DINNER SET?
I have been using the non-toxic, bamboo dinner sets from Bobo and Boo for over 3 years and love them! Great colours and such good quality with none of the nasty stuff. These are made from bamboo, not plastic, which doesn’t leave a big mark on the environment. Bamboo is fast growing, requires little water and no fertiliser, so perfect for us wanting to be more eco friendly. And I love that it’s an Australian small business.
