I make this pesto every week, why, because it can be used with so many different dishes. Try it in sandwiches, on pizza, with grilled meats or drizzle through a good soup. Fabulous on an anti pasta platter or tossed through some pasta or mashed potato. Even for breakfast on hot toast with avocado……oohhh… somebody stop me!

For when you have an abundance of tomatoes (seasonal) or you want the best base for your pasta dish or pizza topping, this sauce is the queen when it comes to tomato excellence.  Take your time, add the love in the stirring and it will all come back on the palate – trust me.

There are times in my kitchen when I have to do the ‘food‘ dance, which translates to ‘this meal is incredible’ and yes, this one always gets my hips moving.  Already incredible and full of flavour, add more fennel if you love the taste, but most importantly, this dish is was born to share.

Simple, quick and delicious – and filled with love…my Pasta alla Puttanesca is made for sharing, so grab your friends, a bottle of your favourite red and get ready to share the love with this lively Italian classic… just perfect!
