This week, enjoy our speedy beef ragu with flavourful parcels of spinach and ricotta tortellini, plus a rocket-cucumber salad. The recent wet weather conditions across the East Coast have impacted our regular supply of fresh ingredients and as such what you receive may be slightly different to what’s pictured. Don’t worry, your recipe will be just as delicious! Unfortunately, this week’s rocket and silverbeet were in short supply, so some customers will receive salad leaves and kale instead.
