This meal plan borrows from the sunny, idyllic coasts of the Mediterranean. Vibrant tomatoes make up the base for two of our weeknight dinners – a big ratatouille panzanella and a comforting sausage traybake. You can’t go a week without pasta, so melted broccoli and anchovy fusilli rounds off the selection. There's plenty of delicious vegetarian options available, too. Get a taste of the Med this week, Mob.
