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.

It’s asparagus season in Australia at the moment and even though I’m overseas at the moment, I relish this time of year where I can access fresh, tender, asparagus spears super affordably and add them to everything!
Classic Lasagne
Finally I am sharing my absolute ultimate favourite classic lasagne recipe that I have made millions (…well maybe not quite millions!) of times! It’s seriously delicious.
We are back into the full swing of things this week with work back to normal after such a long break over Christmas and New Year.
Chilli Cherry Tomato Pasta
Earlier this year I was lucky enough to travel to Italy with my Bertolli family. We stayed in the most incredible villa nestled amongst olive groves in the hills of Tuscany, just outside of Lucca. I had always heard about Lucca as being a magical place to visit, as the city is completely surrounded by walls, but had never managed to get there during my other trips within Italy.
Every time I post this on my Instagram page, you guys go bananas for it! And rightly so, to be honest. It's nothing short of ahhhhhmazing!
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.
Pasta World Championships
For those of you who follow me on Instagram would know that recently I spent a week in Italy with Barilla for the 6th Annual Pasta World Championships! Needless to say, it was AMAZING! It wasn't what I expected at all, it was so much bigger, better and just 'more' of everything.
This week I'm sharing this insanely gorgeous Chargrilled Capsicum & Olive Pesto Spaghetti recipe to celebrate the launch of San Remo's new Pulse Pasta range.
These meatballs are seriously life. I use a combination of pork and beef mince, like all good Italians, for these meatballs with just a simple passata sauce.
Creamy Pumpkin, Caramelised Onion & Pine Nut Pasta Bake
I've said it before and I'll say it again, nothing beats pasta! I eat it twice a week at least and swear I have spaghetti (no.3 spaghettini to be exact) running through my veins! This creamy pumpkin, caramelised onion and pine nut pasta bake is the bee's knees and really easy to throw together. The sauce is jam-packed with flavour and only has a handful of ingredients. You could even use the sauce as a bruschetta topping or pizza base!
Baked Spinach & Ricotta Pasta Shells
This is an easy recipe I make all the time which always leaves leftovers for lunch the next day (even better) and smells amazing wafting through the house! I like to really pack my shells with ricotta and spinach because I love the texture and it ups the protein, calcium and iron of the dish.
Zoodles
I grew up eating pasta, a couple times a week - no less. my mum, and nonna have always made pasta sauce from scratch and in huge variety. bolognese, amatriciana, arrabiata, napoletana (also known as 'stupid sauce' in my family because it's so easy it's stupid), carbonara (the real way, none of this cream business), formaggio e burro, the list goes on!
