Lasagna itself can be a bit hard to eat for little ones with all the slipping and sliding around of the yummy dish, so

why not simplify the proces with this fun and easy to make tasty soup!

What You Will Need:

2 teaspoons olive oil

1 1/2 pounds Italian sausage (bulk or with casings removed)

2 onions, finely chopped

4 garlic cloves, minced

2 teaspoons oregano

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

2 tablespoons tomato paste

1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes

6 cups chicken broth

2 bay leaves

8 ounces fusilli pasta

1/2 cup finely chopped fresh basil

8 ounces ricotta

1/2 cup grated Parmesan

1/4 teaspoon salt

Pinch of pepper

2 cups shredded mozzarella

What To Do:

1. In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the sausage and sauté, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until the sausage is no longer pink, about 5 to 7 minutes
2. Drain any excess fat from the pot. Add the onions and sauté until softened, about 6 minutes.
3. Add the garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes and sauté for 1 minute. Add the tomato paste and sauté until the paste turns a rusty brown, about 5 minutes.
4. Add the tomatoes with their juice, the broth, and the bay leaves and bring the soup to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 30 minutes.
5. Add the pasta, then increase the heat to medium-high and boil the soup until the pasta is tender to the bite, following the time recommendations on the pasta package.
6. Discard the bay leaves, then stir in the basil. If desired, season with salt and black pepper to taste.
7. In a small bowl, combine the ricotta, the Parmesan, the 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and the pinch of pepper.
8. To serve, place about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the ricotta mixture in each bowl, sprinkle with some of the mozzarella, and ladle the soup on top.

If you or the kids haven’t set out this year’s New Year’s resolutions yet, it’s not too late. Try ‘Spud Goes green’ by

Giles Thaxton for some inspiration on how to truly go green and do your part to save our planet. Or at least some

steps towards it.

Inspired by his knowledgeable next-door neighbour Adi, young enthusiastic Spud decides to do his best to save

the planet in one year. This involves some experimenting – not always successful – but all good attempts are

documented in a light and fun way in this full-year diary following his progress.

Trying to “go green” or at least think a bit more about what you can do to help the environment, requires surprising

facts and some fun. And this is certainly something you get from Spud. He shares some important facts about our

planet and shows you things like how to save energy in your home with “textile snakes”, how to build a pond in your

garden, recycling and other useful stuff. But also quirky things like how to dye T-shirts with grass, how to grow a

red daffodil or how to make your own paper!

This book is great used two ways, either follow Spud’s progress chronologically from January to December,

or simply pick up some tips here and there when you feel like it is what this book is good for. Colourful illustrations

(on recycled paper of course) by Nigel Baines adds that little extra spark to inspire the little greenie in your child.

Giles Thaxton himself lives on an old wooden boat in Wales, working as a carpenter. This is his first book.

You can find ‘Spud Goes Green’  on Amazon or Egmont: www.amazon.co.uk or www.egmont.co.uk.
