Pasta Donuts

April 28

First came cronuts and now it’s pasta donuts (ponuts?)! This food mashup isn’t as bizarre as it sounds as it’s essentially a delicious pasta bake, made into a fun donut shape. No icing or sprinkles in sight – just cheesy, crispy pasta goodness!

  • serves Serves 8
  • time 30 mins

Method

  1. 1. Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F/Gas mark 5 and grease a baking tray generously with olive oil or cooking spray. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and Parmesan cheese. Add in the cooked spaghetti, marinara sauce, pancetta and basil. Season with salt and toss, using tongs, until completely incorporated.
  2. 2. Carefully arrange the coated pasta into donut shapes on the baking tray. Spray the top of the donuts before placing in the oven for 15 minutes or until firm
  3. 3. Remove and allow to cool slightly on the tray before transferring to a wire wrack to cool completely.

Creamy Chicken & Spinach Pasta

April 10

I love recipes that come with a dash of nostalgia and this one never fails to deliver. In what now feels like another life, I was in a band with my Swedish pal Jonathan and, while staying at his place, I picked up this great recipe from his ‘Mamma’, Kerstin. She really knows how to feed a crowd and this recipe is absolutely delicious.

Fettuccine Al Fredo

March 31

This fettuccine dish (which is also known as Cacio e Pepe) is genuinely the easiest pasta dish you will ever make! Just five ingredients go into making this charmingly economical dinner – which you probably already have in the kitchen right now. Of course, you can add in other flavours if you like but I think it’s perfect just the way it is.

Mac & Cheese: 3 Ways

April 14

Pasta is a classic comfort food and it doesn’t get much more indulgent than Mac & Cheese. I like to add flavours like chorizo, basil or paprika but sometimes the classic version is all you want!
