Half a bunch of spinach are the stalks and they are just as delicious 😋! Vibrant, tasty and perfect with pasta and a good amount of Parmesan. Of course I added a hint of peperoncino 🌶️ because that’s what I do!

Just chop and blanch the stalks from washed fresh spinach and toss in oil either way garlic and chilli 🌶️ if you like!
Add the cooked pasta and a little pasta water, toss it all together over the heat, season, and lastly stir in the grated Parmesan which gives it that lovely glossy coating on the pasta and brings the whole dish together.
Buon appetito 😋🤗👌♥️ 🇮🇹

It’s late for wild asparagus but we managed to find a handful on our walk yesterday. Obviously they couldn’t go to waste so I made a simple sauce with some crumbled Tuscan sausage and a couple of ripe tomatoes. It was simply delicious 😋 with fresh spaghetti ‘alla chitarra’ 👌🙌

Signs of spring 🩷🤩 Delicious baby broad beans! Zucchini flowers! Asparagus! Such an exciting time of year when everything comes alive again!
Italy are even further ahead and already enjoying an abundance of fresh spring vegetables!
Plan a trip to Italy in May to experience the delicious and exquisite spring vegetables that are so tender they can be eaten raw.
A favourite of mine is with fresh which is the epitome of fresh sweet and crunchy baby broad beans and the soft delicate saltiness of young sheep’s cheese from Tuscany.
We can visit Pienza which is a stunning hilltop town fulled to the brim with food shops and restaurants. The home of cheese, delicious honeys, legumes, wine, olive oil and everything delicious that you can imagine!
If you want to fall in love with life just visit Italy and I will show you the best places.
Stay in at for a few days of experiences. For serious foodies and those who love their wine there is no better place!!
