RECIPE COLLECTION FROM DELICIOUS. ON SUNDAYS
SERVES: 4
WHAT'S IN IT?
3 green zucchini, cut lengthways into 4mm slices
2 bunches asparagus, trimmed
2 sweetcorn cobs, husk and silks removed
1/3 cup (80ml) extra virgin olive oil, plus extra to serve
400g curly fettuccine
3 shallots, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tbs lemon thyme leaves
½ cup (125ml) dry white wine
1½ cups (375ml) pure cream
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon, juice of ½
½ cup each mint & flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped, plus extra to serve
Finely grated parmesan, to serve
PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER:
Heat a barbecue or grill pan to high heat. Lightly brush zucchini, asparagus and corn with half the oil and season. Grill corn for 10 minutes or until lightly charred all over. Cool briefly, then slice off kernels. Grill asparagus and zucchini for 3-4 minutes until charred and just tender. Cool slightly. Cut asparagus into bite-size pieces.
Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil and cook pasta for 2 minutes less than packet instructions. Drain, reserving ¾ cup water. Return pasta to pan and drizzle with a little extra oil and toss to coat.
Heat remaining 2 tbs oil in a frying pan over medium heat, add shallot, garlic and thyme and cook for 4 minutes or until soft. Add wine and reduce by half, then add cream and zest and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Add pasta, reserved cooking water, lemon juice, corn, zucchini and asparagus and cook for a minute to warm through. Take off heat, season and stir in herbs. Serve scattered with parmesan and drizzled with extra olive oil.

PASTA!
Nduja is a dangerously addictive, spreadable firecracker of Calabrian pork and chilies that melts into a smoky, spicy sauce all over anything it touches. In this case, it is the perfect addition to a classic vodka pasta (which is one of the simplist and most delicious pastas you can make!)
This is my classic carbonara recipe. I think it is as close to the real deal as you can get (and yes, that means NO CREAM!), that is what the egg, parmesan and pasta water is for!
I hope you enjoy this simple, classic carbonara recipe that can be whipped up in minutes!
The best and easiest meal you will make this week, this is my Sausage Kale Pasta recipe.
A family staple in our household and a simple pasta recipe we cook almost everyweek!
Fish, Pea & Herb Orzo - for those days when it is still hot outside but you feel like something, cosy, comforting and all cooked in one pan! Creamy orzo, zesty fish, it’s bright, balanced and absolute perfection.
Clam Pasta - Spaghetti Alle Vongole - Delicious; whatever you want to call it, this dish is a big time hit and one you can whip out and whip up quick quick 🐚
This is a handy way to use up (or just have fun with) lasagne sheets, giving you decadent and thick noodles that catch all the sauce and ingredients in this Pea & Prosciutto Lasagne Pasta (or any sauce you choose to use!)

Every Greek family has got a favourite but nobody can pick a winner, so instead, I have built both into one tray….this is the Pastitsio Moussaka, and it is delicious (hopefully the Greeks don’t hate me for this!)
I keep the velvety eggplant from the Moussaka, adding in the tubular pasta from the Pastitsio and tying it all together with a signature meat sauce!
