Monday

Green bean spaghetti

Marks & Spencer

Made with Remarksable Value green beans and spaghetti that’s air-dried in the Italian Alps, this meat-free Monday pasta recipe will become your family’s new fave. The pistachios add a lovely crunch, but you could try swapping them for toasted breadcrumbs or whatever nuts you have to hand.

Tuesday

Spiced beef meatballs with creamy labneh and crunchy slaw

Marks & Spencer

Transform everyday, Remarksable Value ingredients – like yogurt, British beef mince, free-range eggs, carrots and celery – into this Middle Eastern-inspired feast. The lightly spiced meatballs are served with labneh, a thick and creamy strained yogurt dip that’s super easy to make at home.

Wednesday

Cream of mushroom risotto

Marks & Spencer

Adding a tin of Remarksable Value mushroom soup to this risotto is a genius hack that gives it a beautifully creamy texture and rich, mushroomy flavour (and makes it friendly on your wallet). Finish with grated Remarksable Value mature British cheddar for even more melty, savoury deliciousness.

Thursday

Spinach and cheese strata

Marks & Spencer

A strata is a bit like a savoury bread and butter pudding. Made with Remarksable value free-range eggs, bread, eggs and cheddar, our veggie version is a comforting, cheesy, fluffy one-tray wonder that’s as delicious for dinner with a zingy green salad as it is for weekend brunch.

Friday

French-fry topped cowboy pie

Marks & Spencer

What could make succulent baked sausages and beans even better? Topping them with our Remarksable Value frozen French fries, that’s what! Treat everyone to this please-all Friday night dinner, which also uses great-value baked beans and cheddar to create an oozy, golden topping.
