As I look out our office window, I am treated with the most beautiful bright pink Bougainvillea against a bright blue sky. The sight always puts a smile on my face because I know that Spring is well and truly here. Along with all the other things I adore about Spring, I love the fact that there is an abundance of lovely fresh produce around. Last week I saw the most beautiful Rosa tomatoes in my supermarket and decided to use them in a simple pasta to showcase their beautiful flavour. I decided to roast them along with two whole heads of garlic and made a quick sauce using…

Sometimes, all I need is a bowl of comforting pasta. I don’t even care what sauce/flavourings I have on it. I just want perfectly cooked pasta.

We all know we are meant to be eating more fish because of all the great Omega 3 & 6′s it has etc. etc,…
I don’t really like Seafood Pasta’s. Mainly because I don’t like Tomato based sauces. But last night I knew I had to make Pasta with the prawns I had as we had rice the night before and we are having rice again tonight with the Bobotie I’m making. I spotted the Asparagus in the fridge and thought I’d pop those in too. This took literally 15 minutes. Ok, it took me 30 minutes to clean the prawns because I HATE the ‘Pink Prawns’ you get from supermarkets and Fishmongers. They never taste of anything and go completely rubbery after just 5 seconds in the pan. The amount of prawns I…
