\"Broccoli<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Broccoli is one of those veggies that might kids still struggle to eat, even after years of serving it up to them and using all the exposure tricks I talk about on here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that’s ok. Children are allowed to have food preferences the same way us adults do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, broccoli is so nutritious and so I still find ways to sneak it into their diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Hidden Broccoli Pasta is a new favourite in our house. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It uses the stalk of the broccoli which is just as nutritious as the florets but much more palatable to picky eaters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When cooked, it has a surprisingly mild taste and melts into the creamy pasta sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first step is to remove the stalk from the head of the broccoli and cut away any gnarly ends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Stalk<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Weigh the stalk – you need 100g but this doesn’t have to be exact. A bit more or less is fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then grate the stalk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Broccoli<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Add it to a large pan on the hob with oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fry for a couple of minutes until it starts to soften.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Stalk<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Add garlic, pasta, hot vegetable stock and milk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bring to the boil and then simmer for 12 minutes until the pasta is cooked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Other<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once cooked, remove from the heat and stir in creme fraiche and grated parmesan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mix well and it’s ready to serve up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can serve it up on it’s own or if you’d like to still work on getting your kids to enjoy broccoli it’s whole form, serve it up with a small portion of the cooked florets on the side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some cracked black pepper on top also completes it perfectly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
