Courgette and spinach pasta

Hello! Long time no see. It’s still (somehow) summer, even though it doesn’t feel like it. So, how about a final summer recipe? This uses spinach and courgette, which are both in season in summer.

Seasonal Pesto

It’s time for another seasonal recipe! This time, it’s homemade pesto. I love pesto, I could eat it every day (and I pretty much did when I was at uni). Fresh pesto is really tasty, particularly when it’s getting warmer outside! I like to use this pesto for hot pasta dishes, pasta salads and toContinue reading “Seasonal Pesto”

Mushroom Stir Fry

Stir fry is one of my favourite meals to make, especially when I’m cooking for other people who aren’t vegetarian or vegan. I can do the same base, then add mushrooms or tofu for me, and meat or fish for other people. I tend to do a very plain stir fry, then put the flavourContinue reading “Mushroom Stir Fry”
