What does this mean?

I am fortunate to have children who eat everything (I thank me alone for this) but, there are many who eat not much at all. I developed this from my store cupboard one night when I was taking care of my nephews, who, when asked what they would like for dinner chimed perfectly together "chicken nuggets please". I knew that if I served some sort of protein and three veg, there would be protests. So I incorporated the vegetables thanks to a grater and the power of camoflague. My nephews loved the pasta and had no idea what was in it. This is fast, tasty midweek food.

  • 500 grams pasta
  • 1 can salmon

  • Parmesan cheese
  • breadcrumbs

Method

  1. Put the water on to boil and proceed to cook pasta.
  2. Grate the courgette and gently fry in a pan till soft, add cherry tomatoes (which I have quartered) and they will cook down and meld into the courgette.
  3. Add the whole tin of salmon, skin, bones, juice and all. Obviously breaking up the flesh of the fish to mix with the other ingredients. Season to taste.
  4. Mix this together with the cooked pasta and throw in a handful of mozzarella cheese. Put into an oven proof dish.
  5. Sprinkle the top generously with grated mozzarella. parmesan and breadcrumbs.
  6. Bake until you have it looking golden brown with a satisfying crunch on top.
