Broccoli Cream Cheese Pasta
This is such an easy recipe to prepare for the little ones in your house. The bow tie pasta makes for a great finger food to "catch" the broccoli cream cheese sauce. It's a great base recipe to use up all the little extras you can find in the fridge, such as the last piece of ham or few sun dried tomatoes!
Recipe Tester Feedback: "I'm not normally a big fan of broccoli, but I really enjoyed this and found it quick and easy to make. It was lovely and creamy, and Miss 10 months enjoyed it too!" - Anita
