Zucchini Pesto

I often make pasta for Friday lunch, each week with a different sauce (unless there’s a special request ^^). With spring here, I wanted to try a quick sauce with no cooking and no cheese… Zucchini pesto. It was a huge success, it comes together in just a few minutes, it’s fresh, well-balanced and pairs beautifully with pasta. If you love basil and zucchini, I highly recommend trying it!

Gnocchi ai Funghi - Creamy Mushroom Sauce

These gnocchi with mushroom sauce smell like autumn and comfort food. The “ai funghi” sauce is an Italian classic, as famous as Bolognese sauce. It’s a quick dish (if your gnocchi are ready) and excellent. Potato gnocchi are a great alternative to pasta as they absorb the sauce beautifully.

Ricotta Spinach Conchiglioni - Baked Stuffed Pasta Shells

I’ve already introduced you to conchiglioni in this recipe for mushroom conchiglioni gratin with bĆ©chamel. For those unfamiliar with them, these are large shell-shaped pasta meant to be stuffed. This time I’m sharing a red sauce version where the conchiglioni are filled with ricotta and spinach and baked until golden.
