Italian

Quick and easy recipes are my raison d’être, so of course I have some Italian recipe recommendations for you!

In the mood for pasta? If you’ve never made a traditional pasta carbonara without cream, start with this. Or… ever made pasta alla norma? You have to try it!

Need a winter warmer? Make crockpot chicken gnocchi soup!

Try this 25-minute chicken pizzaiola with only 6 main ingredients – it’ll become a go-to midweek meal the whole family will love!

What’s for dessert? Hmm. It’s going to be a hard choice between this easy Italian apple cake, chocolate torta tenerina (so classy!), or this amazing thick Italian hot chocolate.

Gosh it’s so hard to choose favourites when it comes to Italian food… so have a browse below!
