  • Spaghetti Carbonara

    Spaghetti Carbonara

    This is how Carbonara should be made. Just outstanding. I’m going to do this regularly. It still needs care in heating the egg yolks, it seemed like I ruined it…

  • Ravioli filled with spinach & ricotta

    Ravioli filled with spinach & ricotta

    Genuinely one of the best things I’ve ever made. Silky, rich – but only a little – ricotta giving a little more earthiness than say mascarpone might. And the crispy…

  • Pea pasta and broccoli

    Pea pasta and broccoli

    Excellent. Doesn’t take long, lovely and fresh, lots of veg. Definitely one to repeat. From Eat to beat pg. 169

  • Carbonara

    Carbonara

    I may have gone overboard with the pecorino… Not far off doubling the quantity suggested… But it was good. Could easily make it lighter with just a little cheese. I…

  • Wholewheat pasta and beans

    Wholewheat pasta and beans

    This is such a simple, wholesome and tasty dish. I really can’t fault it for the effort and time involved. I adjusted slightly to make it a warm plate of…

  • Prawn tagliatelle & Chestnut tagliatelle

    Prawn tagliatelle & Chestnut tagliatelle

    This week contained too much pasta, with these two dishes adjoining a reheated bolognese which altogether caused much bloat in the tum.  Frankly I messed up both recipes through lack…
