It should come as no surprise to any of you that I adore pasta and am always jumping at the chance to show you how simple, delicious and healthy it can be.

Eggplant parmigiana is one of my favourite tray bakes. It’s so easy, delicious and uses only a handful of ingredients! Layers of grilled eggplant with rich herbed tomato sauce and a crunchy, crispy, oozy breadcrumb and mozzarella top. Seriously so delicious!
I have been working on this recipe all week for you guys because it's one of my all-time favourites! It's so cosy and comforting during Winter without being heavy or rich.
It's Carbonara Day today and to celebrate I'm sharing my version of the quintessential Italian dish. There are only a handful of ingredients, and absolutely NO cream allowed. This is the real deal people. No shortcuts, and no weird additions.
Chickpea Cacciatore with Soft Polenta
What a week! I've barely cooked. Renovations are tiring! I didn't realise this for so long but this week I started to 'itch'. I wanted in on my hazard zone of a kitchen! The biggest part of the reno is almost finished so I got into my kitchen this afternoon to whip up this hearty, healthy and oh-so-satisfying chickpea cacciatore with super soft polenta.
Mushroom, Olive & Pesto Calzone
It's no lie that I love pizza. My Dad was a pizza maker when I was little plus we are Italian so it seems my love of it could be genetic! And not crappy cheap pizza, I mean l love a good, thin, crisp dough with only a handful of toppings and cooked in a wood fire.
My dad used to be a pizza maker when I was little. I know, it's the most Italian job ever! So I thought I'd share my pizza dough recipe with you that I use all the time for pizza and calzones!
Supergreens Pesto
This supergreens pesto is so so easy to whip up at a moment's notice to use a pasta sauce, which I actually do all the time because it's a cheap, nutritious and fast meal that is super tasty! Or as a sandwich spread, an awesome addition to quiches, frittatas and scrambled eggs, as a topping for pizza or even a dipping sauce for sweet potato chips! The list goes on!
Torino
Torino is one of my favourites cities that I have ever visited (and that number is really growing now!)
