This penne with tomatoes and ricotta is summer entertaining at it’s best. It’s amazingly quick to whip up, yet effortlessly chic to serve up.

Simple, yet totally luxurious, this asparagus and pea tagliatelle is quick enough to make as a mid-week supper, but stylish enough for a dinner party.

Pumpkin seed pesto is just as good as the real deal. Nutty and creamy, it’s perfect for pasta, pizza, dressings and dips, or just slatherd on crusty bread.

Colourful, attractive and bursting with flavour, a caprese salad is a great dish for any summer party. Though simple to prepare, it has the real wow factor.

This stuffed calamari dish takes a little bit of time to make, but is definitely worth the effort. Serve it as an elegant starter or as a treat for supper.

I love pesto of all sorts, but have really been enjoying eating walnut and basil pesto. It is deliciously rich and creamy with a wonderful nutty taste.

Walnuts have an extra richness and creaminess, which makes this basil and walnut pesto perfect to use with a crunchy asparagus salad.
