P A S T A S A T U R D A Y S 💛 __________ Is there a day that’s not perfect for pasta? I made this fabulous farfalle with the cutter from my @pastaevangelists pasta making kit. It’s a great cutter, with sharp tooth’s for cutting and giving distinct edging to this gracious shape ________ If you fancy making your own you’ve got one day left to enter my competition, head to my feed and the picture of the kit and comment with your favourite pasta and someone who you think would love the kit 💛 ___________ #collaboration #pastamaking #scratchcooking #pastacutter #00flour #farfalle #makeyourownfood #foodiecompetition #handmadepasta #pastafattaamano

T H I S I S M E 🤗 _________ To those of you that haven’t followed me for long or don’t know me, this is me... Kate, I’m always content with a bowl of pasta and a glass of Prosecco 🥂 ___________ I love to cook Italian style food and Mediterranean meals and this year I’ve been hosting my own pasta making workshops and cooking weekends _________ This photo perfectly captures how sharing good food and wine makes me feel - H A P P Y - and for that I must thank the fabulous and lovely @kasiaburke from @hitchinstudios.co.uk for joining me on my most recent workshop at @themillhousehertford and capturing this shot 📸 ________ What does a delicious bowl of pasta not cure? It warms you up on the inside, filling you with comfort and content! My aim is to share my passion for this fabulous food with as many of you as possible, through my photos, my recipes and my workshops. Fancy joining me for more in the new year? Tag a friend or two you’d love to enjoy a night of wine and pasta with! Its a tough choice for me so I’m picking pals near and far.... @ronnie1985 @homeforbeau @itsabeautifulworldblog @mangalou @amyjomalley @kazboss75 _________ #foodblog #pastamaking #cookingclasses #cookingworkshop #inthekitchenwith #foodies100 #foodblogger #italianfoodporn #italianfoodbloggers #makeyourownpasta #bowlofpasta #pastabowl #whatmakesyouhappy

H O M E M A D E R A V I O L I 🖐🏻 _________ Something incredibly satisfying about this dish. Spinach and ricotta ravioli with homemade tomato sauce. This is scratch cooking at its truest... ________ I had some tomatoes to use up so with onion, garlic and basil I made a simple tomato sauce 🌿 I made my pasta from scratch, and the key to this filling is seasoning and nutmeg, lots of nutmeg! ________ Watch my story or Pasta Making Kit highlights to see how I created this gorgeous looking (and tasting) dish ________ Recipe is coming to the blog too #pastamaking #pastatools #pastakit #ravioli #cookfromscratch #scratchcooking #pastafresca #pastafattoamano #homemadepasta #foodphotography #photofoodiegram #pastapasta

A B O U T L A S T N I G H T... ________ I was lucky enough to be invited to @filippoberio_uk Olio Novello cookery evening at the wonderful @lacucinacaldesi __________ Not only did we get to taste (and take home) the recently pressed and delicious Olio Novello we got to prepare, cook and create a sensational 4 course menu with the enigmatic Chef Stefano and his team __________ Just keep scrolling to see what we cooked up and just how happy it made me! A lentil and chestnut soup to start, followed up with a Calzone Di Cipolle (not calzone as we know it, a delicious filled pie with leeks, spring onions and Parmesan), Filetto Di Maiale with the most amazing tricolore side of vegetables with béchamel sauce and lashings of nutmeg, followed up with a torta the equivalent of a giant mince pie 🥧 all coupled with great tasting wines from @zonin1821_uk If all of this isn’t enough to tantalise your tastebuds check out my stories/highlights for even more drool worthy photos 📷 _________ #filippoberio #olionovello #oliveoil #italianoliveoil #pugliafoodporn #lacucinacaldesi #cookeryschool #cookingclasslondon #italianfood #cookingfromscratch #learntocookitalian
