I confess that I pinned this one because I adore the way this image looks. I love the styling, I love the fonts... I just love. The Kitchy Kitchen gives good styling.
Of course, the food looks good too, huh? I will try this one out on la famiglia, but I'll tone down the arrabiata sauce and it will then become just "chicken meatballs". We'll certainly need to stir those green bits in as well so they are unrecognisable... the other night my sister made apricot chicken exactly the way I make apricot chicken (which is to say, get a tin of apricot nectar and a packet of french onion soup) but she adds celery and carrot to hers instead of caramelised onion as I do. Well, Max wouldn't eat a bite, even when the celery was removed, because he could 'taste the green bits'. Sigh, and I was so sure years ago that the green bits battle was a battle I could win.

Have you won the green bits battle?

"1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper" - does that mean chili flakes or capsicum? Would love to make these for dinner (thanks for solving that age old dilemma) but stumbling over this ingredient. Prob too hot for the kidlets anyways. But would love to know so can cook it just so for the grownups.
And ahh not havent won the greenbits thing but getting there...slowly.
How bout including grated zucchini??
@Michele - it's chilli... but just leave it out and I reckon it'll be ace. x
@Libby - you know all my secrets. x
Somehow, sometimes YES I've won the green bits battle and in the most shocking way! My Miss 5 will strip the pasta sauce off her spaghetti with thumb and pointer finger if she sees grated carrot/zucchini in the sauce. She will eat it if she can't see it by being fed or blindfolded!! - but we won't play that game with her. So I was completely shocked when she decided she liked eating Spinach Lasagne (made with lots of cooked spinach, cottage cheese & eggs, layered with passata & lasagne sheets) It's very green - but so darn delicious she happily tucks in. Tonight she happily ate Spinach Frittata as long as it was accompanied by tomato sauce. But still won't eat pasta sauce if there are any green bits - even spinach!! Completely nonsensical. But I'll still take the win when it comes. We now eat Spinach Lasagne/Frittata every week :D
