Hi everyone!

This week we harvested some of our sensational silverbeet and Room 2 was the lucky class to take it home to share with their whanau.

Here is the recipe of the week from Whaea Emma in Room 2. She says that Jaeda and Odette liked it too and even ate it all up!

1 tub ricotta cheese
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 courgettes cut into strips
1 leek finely sliced

pinenuts and parmesan, (and/or chilli flakes), to taste

What you do:
