Bucatini Pasta with Puttanesca Sauce
Pasta with a Puttanesca Sauce is another relatively modern Italian classic recipe. My easy and quick version is rich with anchovy, capers and parsley but it comes without olives. I don’t like them and because I’m a “grown up” now and I don’t have to eat things I don’t like! … Read more
Pea and Tuna Pasta Salad
A tuna pasta salad is a perfect recipe to throw in a lunch box for work or school, a picnic or even a side for a BBQ. This version contains no mayonnaise but instead has a bright and vibrant lemon vinaigrette.
Pepper and Sausage Pasta
Simple pasta recipes are always a great kitchen fall back for those busy days, this roasted pepper and sausage pasta is one of those recipes. Waiting for the sausage to roast in the oven with the peppers is the most difficult part of this recipe.
Ham and Asparagus Pasta
Pasta is always great for the quick win and in this recipe it is coated in an asparagus puree and then served with blanched asparagus spears. It is then served with some great quality wafer thin parma ham. A perfect, simple summer 30-minute meal!
Goats Cheese and Spinach Cannelloni
I love cannelloni, as far as I am concerned baked cannelloni is the king of pasta bakes. It just begs to be experimented with and the number of fillings you can come up with is only limited by your imagination.
Wild Garlic Pesto Pasta with Gorgonzola Cheese
Wild garlic is a wonderful ingredient that has a perilously short season and is a great sign that summer is coming. This wild garlic pesto pasta fizzes with the flavour of garlic and basil and is pimped with a little gorgonzola cheese.
Halloumi and Tomato Orzo Salad
This orzo salad recipe is me warming up for the changing seasons. Lighter and brighter flavours, fresher ingredients, a breath of fresh air if you like. This recipe sees a debut appearance from Orzo pasta and only the second appearance from halloumi cheese.
Butternut Squash Pasta
Often butternut squash pasta recipes take the form of a blended sauce, this recipe is a little different. It features cubes of butternut squash cooked in bacon and chili… I know right! Bacon and chili! It also has a little white wine and some rosemary.
Garlic Spaghetti with Blue Cheese and Sage
This garlic spaghetti recipe is my take on olio e aglio… Except my version definitely leans towards Northern Italian produce rather!
