Philip, Katya (our au pair) and I definitely liked this one a lot.
This recipe was very easy to make and the lemon was very subtle but critical to making it not simply taste like pasta with butter and parm.
I used bacon instead of pancetta (crazy that my kids have not had bacon before, only irish bacon/rasher, which is very different). They've had fettuccine before, but I've never gotten them to eat broccoli, so we had a few new items here.
The Verdicts:
Sofia: She stayed home sick today, so again, I was not expecting much. But she asked to eat dinner early (before her brothers were home) and ate close to two bowls of it! even the broccoli. I guess the butter and cheese combo helps. She loved it and said two thumbs up.
Jack: he was hungry tonight. I don't think he even looked at what was in his bowl. He just shoveled it all in. Thumbs up!
Liam: ah Liam. no luck. after many attempts, he had a leftover "meatball hamburger" from last night.
Oh and Sofia started a new thing tonight "Try Something New To Drink". She made home made lemonade. She recited the recipe that she learned from one of her shows (Max & Ruby) and it was delicious.
Here it is (I am transcribing directly from Sofia)
"Get a lot of glass of water, then you have 2 lemons and sugar, not too much but just enough. then you stir it all up and now ices cube to keep it cold then mint leaves."
