In the spirit of positivity: Happy New Year! I know much of the world is off to a shaky start, but I'm putting my best foot forward here. Hoping you all enjoyed (as much as you could) a relaxing, if quiet, Christmas break too!
I'm starting off 2021 with a wonderful pasta bake recipe. It's full-on comfort food, ideal for the family and it's veggie friendly. (there are also vegan and gluten-free details included in the details).
And, to help you out, should you also be feeling the need for some sweet comfort food hugs, I'm including a link to my stove-top rice pudding, which got a make-over just before Christmas. It's now fully loaded with step-by-step instructions and tips for success.
This pasta al forno recipe combines penne rigate pasta, a hearty aubergine ragu and plenty of mozzarella cheese. This incredibly tasty aubergine pasta bake is fantastic meat-free comfort food that can be made in advance.
Stovetop rice pudding is hard to beat for sheer heartwarming comfort food. Quick to make, nostalgic of childhood, yet unashamedly delicious. It’s a dessert the whole family will be fighting over for seconds.
