So, you cant find pasta on the shelf at the moment? Following on from our popular post 21 flourless sweet treats we thought we would also write one for main meals that aren’t pasta! We know how hard it is to find pasta at the moment and that can be really hard for some families where pasta is a staple in the weekly rotation. So here are some of our favourite, filling main meals that don’t require pasta! After compiling this list it is also just a really good summary of some of our amazing family recipes, so a great post to share and save for later.
