Today it’s International Children’s Day. Let’s show the kids that veggies can be delicious. Who doesn’t like spaghetti? Behind the recipe for our spaghetti there’s also a love story, and not only the love for cooking. When K. and her husband were students they fell in love with spaghetti served at a local restaurant. Unfortunately, when you’re a student you cannot always afford to eat out. So, B. (K.’s husband), recreated the recipe for the spaghetti they loved and this is how this recipe came into being. You need to try it and let your kids fall in love with plant based spaghetti!
