Pasta with pesto is another favourite. I often add cherry tomatoes to it.

Thank you for some amazing pasta ideas!
Spaghetti bolognese is a firm family favourite followed closely by lasagna so I am thrilled to have a few new ideas to try & mix it up a little.

We love homemade gnocchi with simple sauce to go with the light and fluffy tiny bites.

Lovely. We all adore pasta at my place. Lasagne is surely the favourite, followed by pasta alla carbonara.
