A lovely, fast and easy to make pasta dish with:

🇮🇹Smoked Salmon
🇮🇹prawns
🇮🇹fresh tomatoes
🇮🇹baby courgettes
🇮🇹garlic
🇮🇹Chopped parsley
🇮🇹fish stock

Whilst the pasta is cooking, fry the garlic, courgettes and tomatoes in some olive oil, add some of the fish stock and then add the salmon and prawns, these only need a few minutes, add a good handful of the chopped parsley. When the pasta is cooked, drain and add to the pan with the ingredients. Toss the pasta adding a bit more fish stock if needed and finish off with another sprinkling of the parsley.
Enjoy!

There could only be one dinner tonight prepared with my beautiful young granddaughter Mellie, we made a roasted pumpkin soup, we put in garlic, sweet potatoes, carrots and white potatoes. Cut the pumpkin into chunks and place in an oven tray, season with thyme, sea salt and black pepper drizzle with olive oil and bake in the oven for approx 20 minutes. In the meantime chop the carrots, sweet potatoes and white potatoes into cubes and gently sweat in some olive oil. When the pumpkin is roasted off, add to the potatoes and carrots. Add some vegetable or chicken stock to the pan and leave to simmer for approx 20 mins. With a blender whisk everything together and leave for a further 5 minutes.
A drizzle of fresh cream to finish off, result 👌👌👌 Happy Halloween!!

So today I cooked octopus for the first time and what a great result! Octopus is almost the traditional Sicilian street food, it’s sold throughout the island.
Once cooled down I cut it into pieces and made a salad with celery, carrots, olives, capers plenty of chopped parsley and garlic and a good drizzle of olive oil.
Served with a new potato salad and some roasted red peppers, skinned, sliced and dressed with olive oil, garlic and fresh basil.
To mop up all those beautiful flavours some fresh baked baguettes!

A quick tasty dish, fresh tagliatelle with pistachio pesto, just a few ingredients to make this tasty plate of pasta.
Fresh basil leaves, pistachio kernels which I gently fried for a few minutes, garlic, olive oil, grated Parmesan or pecorino, salt and pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice. I just blitz the ingredients quickly in a nutribullet 😬 tradition is of course a pestle and mortar!

Butternut squash Risotto
A collaboration with the lovely @jenx25 she actually did the cooking! How’s this for a beautiful risotto, made with a sweet butternut squash.

❇️ Peel and cut the squash into cubes, place on an oven tray, season with sea salt and pepper and some sage leaves, drizzle some olive oil on top and bake in the oven until it turns soft.

❇️ Keep some cubes whole aside and mash the rest up.
❇️ In a small frying pan, gently fry some sage leaves in a teaspoon of olive oil.

❇️ Chop some shallots and fry gently in a tablespoon of olive oil, when sweated down add the Arborio rice and stir well, leave for a couple of minutes and start to add the vegetable stock, you need to stir the rice regularly as it soaks up the stock, keep adding stock until the rice is cooked.
❇️ At this point, add the mashed squash and stir in well, add a good knob of butter and a handful of the grated Parmesan.
❇️ Plate up and top with the cubes of squash, some sage leaves and another grating of Parmesan. Enjoy 👌👌

On the menu tonight a light fresh tagliatelle with sprouting broccoli, topped with toasted fresh breadcrumbs and freshly grated parmigiano reggiano cheese. A lovely vegetarian dish. Love my new @coleandmason olive oil bottle!
