Best Italian Pasta Sauce

Recipe by: KRAZYBARB

Be the first to review it!

The secret ingredient in this pasta sauce is bicarbonate of soda - but do not taste the sauce right after adding it. Wait a while, and this sauce will not disappoint. Stir in Parmesan and keep simmering. Let the flavours meld overnight, then serve over your favourite pasta.

Butternut Squash and Barley Risotto

Recipe by: moonpig

Be the first to review it!

Well given food prices are rocketing I tried using barley instead of Arborio rice. It was a success, filling, healthy and still really yummy! NOTE: This is very filling and quite rich in flavour. So I sometimes serve half portions with some nice green beans or other summer Veg/green salad. It keeps in the refrigerator great in an air tight container or ziplock bag. It tastes great the next day cold or re-heated and so we take the leftovers for filling lunch at work.

Try this easy dish of frozen chicken breast fillets cooked in a spicy tomato sauce for a change. It is best served with cooked rigatoni or penne, offering a chunk of fresh Parmesan cheese for grating over, and freshly ground black pepper for a little extra heat.

Chickpea and tomato pasta sauce

Recipe by: Jan Cutler

Reviews(1)

This spicy vegetarian sauce is best served with pasta (penne is ideal) and some grated Parmesan or Italian-style hard cheese or Gruyère. Keep cans of chopped tomatoes and chickpeas on hand to make it often!

Ciabatta with feta and roasted vegetables

Recipe by: Maggie Pannell

Be the first to review it!

A feast of colourful vegetables makes a superb topping for a pizza-style ciabatta. The bread soaks up the aromatic roasting juices so that it is deliciously moist with a crunchy crust. If you want to boost your vegetable intake even more, serve it with a leafy herb salad.

Really quick to make soup and really tasty, the lemony flavour makes it perfect for summer starters or light lunches and the garlic gives it a bit of a kick! Hope you enjoy as much as I did!

Wash, peel and de-seed the tomatoes - I found using a regular peeler did not work too well, I used a perforated edged knife to peel and de-seed.
