About this blog

  • Farm girl by birth, city girl by marriage… The only constant in my life has always been good, wholesome food, wine and company! Although I chose a variety of career paths in my life, I studied food and wine for six years before embarking on a detour that finally led me back to the kitchen, where I feel so at home! This blog exists to invite you into my kitchen, with all its fragrances, warmth and laughter! Please come inside…

Butter to fry them in
Garlic, crushed, to flavour

Method
1.  Cook the pasta in the salted boiling water until cooked.
