How to use pack

This pack contains three Italian recipes that stand alone. They don't have to be made on consecutive days, but can be enjoyed whenever you fancy a taste of Italy. One thing to remember though...

1) Once you've made the Spaghetti Bolognaise recipe remember to hold back 1/5 of the mince mix (about 100g) for the Arancini Balls recipe. You can either store it in a tupperware container in the fridge for up to 3 days until you're ready to make the Arancini using the leftover mince... or stash it in the freezer for up to 3 months. Simply defrost overnight or on a defrost setting of your microwave for a few minutes so it's ready to fill the rice.

Also... as a bonus each recipe uses a single glass of wine... but that leaves you with a couple of opened bottles (one red and one white) to enjoy with dinner. Not only does the meal pack give you the ingredients you need... but the wine to go with it!

So, grab the Parmesan, open a bottle of Pinot and tuck into these Italian favourites!
