This risotto is inspired by the classic Siclian pasta dish alla Norma
The smell of a tomato just plucked from its vine is at its best in the peak of summer, which is precisely when this dish should be eaten.
This fresh and light salad, rich in nutrients, textures and flavours is at its peak in the middle of our market season –Daniel Costa, Corso 32
This recipe is inspired by Sicily and is a classic combination of high spice and fresh, cooling mint. A long noodle such as spaghetti also works beautifully with this sauce
A classic Neapolitan sauce and cut of pasta that is rich and full of deep flavours. I love the texture of paccheri and find that is works so well for a sauce like this. Avoid over salting the water or sauce as the majority of ingredients in this recipe are preserved in salt and bring a powerful punch!
This recipe is one of my favourites from Micah Joffe (chef of Bar Bricco). I love the rich and creamy ricotta combined with the pop of the lemon and basil. This dish is also very adaptable to other combinations such as chili and parsley instead of basil and pine nuts
