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

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 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
