Chicken and mushroom risotto
A classic risotto dish that comes together in one pot in less than an hour. The result is comfort food at its finest – creamy, earthy flavours and lots of texture. It’s super easy, and reheats perfectly too!
Bolognese
Bolognese sauce – the staple of Italian cuisine, where basic, everyday ingredients cook low and slow to transform into a rich, hearty sauce. Perhaps the best part is that it’s so versatile; I use ground beef and add lots of vegetables for flavour, but you can adapt this recipe to your own taste.
Lasagne
The classic Italian dish that everyone has their own spin on, but ultimately it’s all about the layers! My version uses slow-cooked ragu, bechamel and grated cheese amidst layers of pasta. Each bite offers a harmonious blend of flavours and textures – a truly satisfying and indulgent dish.
Beef ragu
The star of this dish is the beef. Three different cuts of beef each lend something special here: beef cheek for melt-in-your-mouth tenderness, short rib for richness and flavour, and osso buco for texture.
Carbonara
The simplest recipes are often the most difficult to perfect. While not completely traditional, this recipe makes carbonara simple and minimises the risk of the eggs overcooking. The results are a silky, rich and decadent sauce.
Seafood stew
This is winter comfort food at its finest. But the best part might be that it all cooks up in one pot in under 30 minutes. It’s easy enough to whip up for a midweek dinner, but so delicious you’ll feel like you’re eating at a five-star restaurant.
Fettuccine Alfredo
I’m a sucker for creamy pasta dishes, especially ones that cook in one pot (one pot pastas = silkier sauce and less cleaning). This dinner is quick and easy to whip up but it tastes dreamy.
Bolognese soup
This is a winter staple at our house. Comforting but not too heavy, it makes heaps and reheats perfectly. Did I mention that it also cooks in just one pot, and is ready in less than an hour?
