Pasta Lion We were having a few people over so I couldn’t resist making a creative side plate. This is visually effective but really quite a simple fun food plate. I have found that most children love hummus and when teamed with some freshly cut veggies it makes a great, healthy share plate for special occasions. This was served warm as a side plate and vanished in minutes. Healthy party food I made the hummus as it’s easy and means I can cook without all the additives the store bought tubs come with. Recipe - Hummus - Pasta (I used wholemeal spirals) - Spaghetti for the whiskers (I used wholemeal) - Cheese (Edam) - Olives – for detail - Grated carrot for highlight Method 1.
