Beef Lasagne
A ragรน given three hours and a bรฉchamel made properly. Long, mostly unattended, and the best thing to make on a Sunday.

Margherita Pizza
A slow cold-fermented dough, an uncooked tomato sauce and the hottest oven you own. Three toppings and nothing else.

Courgette Noodles with Walnut Pesto
Raw courgette ribbons salted to draw out water, tossed with a pesto made from walnuts. Fifteen minutes, no stove for the noodles.

Classic Tiramisu
No cream, no gelatine, no baking. Whipped egg yolks and mascarpone over coffee-soaked savoiardi, set overnight in the fridge.

Penne all'Arrabbiata
Angry pasta โ tomatoes, garlic and enough chilli to earn the name. Twenty minutes and everything comes from a cupboard.

Mushroom Risotto
Dried porcini for the stock, fresh mushrooms browned hard and folded in at the end, and the butter beaten in off the heat.

Spaghetti Aglio e Olio
Garlic, oil, chilli and parsley. Five ingredients, fifteen minutes, and the only skill is not burning the garlic.

Cacio e Pepe (Four Ingredients, No Cream)
Pasta, pecorino, black pepper and starchy water. The whole dish is a technique for turning cheese into sauce without it seizing into strings.
