Introducing our latest eco-recipe and growing kit, Pesto Pasta and Gnocchi, created in collaboration with Nanny Louenna.
This super fun kit not only contains all the dried ingredients required to make 2 portions of both pesto pasta and gnocchi, it also has everything needed to grow basil - including instructions for how to make the plant pot with the kit’s packaging!
The enclosed activity booklet teaches about the ingredients that are used and showcases the importance of sustainability through the ‘reduce - reuse - recycle’ slogan and for extra fun through the inclusion of 4 Stroodles edible spoons, the perfect sustainable alternative to plastic cutlery!
Contents:
320g plain flour
30g organic sunflower seeds
4 Stroodles edible spoons (4 x 12g)
Basil seeds (for growing activity)
Compost pellets (for growing activity)
12-page, educational recipe and activity booklet that teaches about the ingredients
Full instructions for using packaging to make plant pot in which to grow basil
All wrapped in a copy of ‘Stroodly News’, an A3 sheet of Kraft paper that has activities and reduces the need for additional packaging.
Additional ingredients required:
2 medium sweet potatoes, 1 lemon, 80ml neutral oil (olive oil works well if it’s not bitter or rapeseed is another great option) and 30g basil (if you’re keen to make before the seeds grow!)
Also good to know: a high powered blender or pestle and mortar is required to make the pesto
