Spaghetti bolognese
Everyone has their favourite spag bol recipe and it’s usually the first ever main dish we learn to cook. This one is simple but classic and ideal for the rookie chef in your family when it’s their turn to make dinner.
Easy lasagne
Easy peasy bolgonese.
Crab spaghetti in a bag
Crab meat is available from fish markets and the seafood section of some major supermarkets. You will need to use two oven trays for the bags; don’t overcrowd them onto one oven tray.
Spinach and ricotta cannelloni
Like a lasagne, all rolled up.
Orecchiette with smoked trout and broccolini
This is one of my all-time favourite pastas. I know it looks like a lot of anchovies, but trust me and cook them down slowly. This could well become your favourite pasta, too.
No-stir spring pea risotto
Feeding a family of big eaters is expensive! When I find a meat-free meal they enjoy, it helps the weekly budget. This risotto is the kind of dish that can be made if there are the very barest of essentials in the cupboard. It has light flavours to match the season. I do have to pay attention to the pot, but only for half an hour, so it’s no drama.
Spicy prawn linguine
The delicious, spicy pan juices from the prawns add a huge dash of flavour to this simple spicy prawn linguine. Perfect for dinner on a warm evening when you just need something light and tasty.
Pasta with zucchini and lemon garlic sauce
This delicious yet simple pasta dish is packed with veggies and can be whipped up quickly and easily. In fact, you’ll have most of the ingredients in your pantry and fridge already.
