Succulent and crunchy, spaghetti squash blends perfectly with a tomato sauce or any other favourite pasta sauce for a family-friendly starter ready in few minutes.
Is anything more satisfying than a risotto? Contrary to popular belief, it is really easy to make. All you have to do is follow the right method. What’s more, parmesan and squash make perfect partners. This is a recipe from my friend Adele, born and raised in the rice-producing area of the Po valley near Milan. It was the Cistercian monks, who started growing it there in the 15th century, battling famine that was devastating Europe at the time. Many were skeptical that a plant which grew in water and had been brought from the Far East by traveling Venetian merchants, could be much of a remedy. In the end, the monks’ foresight proved a blessing for the region’s prosperity.
This soup is a seasonal essential. Leek adds a particularly autumnal flavour. You can even use pumpkin seeds to garnish. If you’re worried about making too much, know that it keeps up to 4 months in the freezer. Enjoy!
