A recipe to feed your family for under $10. From Ben Mills and Nancye Pirini.
Mills and Pirini, head chef and sous chef at Dine by Peter Gordon, say their beef pasta dish is "very nutritious, and covers all the main food groups". "It's a great meat and
three-veg option for families," said Mills, adding that it was also quick and easy to prepare. "Most importantly, it's tasty." As a mother-of-five, Pirini buys her cooking and household ingredients in bulk from Pak 'n Save, gets her meat from a local butcher, and her fruit and veggies from the markets or a local produce supplier. Pirini said a kilogram of mince could cost $10 at the supermarket but $6 at the butcher. "It takes a little more effort to do your shopping in three parts like this," she said. "But the quality of the food items you can buy is excellent, and well worth it in savings on grocery costs if you can spare the extra time."
