Aubergine Tagliatelle with Hello Fresh Kit


The last six months during lock down, we have all spent more time in our homes than ever before. Families finally found they were discovering new ways to communicate, learn new skills and take up new hobbies to while the time during this lock down.
Without the option of dinning out, ordering takeaways, people started cooking more and discovering different cuisines around the world to create and satisfy their gastronomical cravings. It's surprisingly how many people have found a hidden passion for cooking that they never knew they had. With the help of supermarket home deliveries, shop and collect, online shopping and food delivery boxes, the task has become easier and more enjoyable. Even those people with limited culinary experience can rustle a tasty, delicious and healthy meal in a short time.

How is this Possible?
  • People had more time to spend in the kitchen.
  • Statistics show that during lock down, more people started watching cooking shows, referred to recipe books and took part in online cooking classes to brush up their culinary skills.
  • Many people with a lack of cooking skills and meal planning found it hard to create home cooked food and this is when their problem was solved by ordering a pre-planned and packed recipe box/ meal kit with the correct ingredients and recipe card delivered straight to your door

Hello Fresh is one such company that delivers fresh ingredients straight to your door, with a choice of 4 different boxes; family box, classic box, rapid quick recipe box and vegetarian box. You can choose from their website recipes that are Classic English, Italian, Indian, Mediterranean, Vietnamese, Chinese cuisine and many more. Each box comes with the complete ingredients to create your chosen recipe with full instructions and recipe card. Do check out their most popular recipes there are so many options.

What are the advantages of ordering a recipe box?
  • No need to go shopping.
  • Take the stress out of meal planning
  • Everything you need to create a healthy and delicious recipe delivered straight to your door.
  • The meal kits offer a wide selection of recipe ideas for vegetarians and non-vegetarians.
  • Fool proof, easy to follow instructions making it simple to create a enjoyable and tasty meal in less than 30 minutes.
I tried the vegetarian box from Hello Fresh and chose the Aubergine Tagliatelle recipe. The recipe turned out delicious and took less 30 minutes to create from start to finish.



The ingredient prep was minimal and only took a few minutes. It just shows how easy it is to put this recipe together.


I am sharing my step by step pictorial of the cooking stages below to show how easy it is to create this delicious and tasty dish.

  1. This sounds delicious and I am very tempted to try it myself. I like the idea of recipe boxes, especially for busy people who don't have time to get to the shops themselves. Personally I would just want to check that the price is not excessive compared with buying the ingredients separately.

  5. This sounds really delicious! We used to get Hello Fresh and I did love it, but over time I started to find the veggie options got a bit repetitive and boring so we ended up stopping our subscription. It was a shame because it did take a lot of stress out of meal planning!
