Anchovy and Black Olive Pasta

Tins and jars can make the most delicious pasta sauce in the same time it takes for the pasta to cook. Anchovies are a great source of omega-3 fatty acids which are necessary for heart and brain health.

Lemon, Parsley, Chicken Pasta

Lemon and parsley are classic friends that make this mid-week pasta dish bright and tasty. You can use fresh or roasted chicken so it’s a great way to use up leftovers too.

Carbonara

Carbonara is the queen of spaghetti dishes. Decadent and salty it is still one of my favourites. The jarred stuff bares no resemblance to this beautiful dish so give it a go and rediscover carbonara.

Stilton and Walnut Spaghetti

This simple pasta dish was inspired by a trip Paul and I took to Florence for New Year’s Eve. It’s a deeply earthy dish that is easy to make and feels very decadent to eat. A good combination of less effort, more joy.
