Our House Favourite Carbonara

I could make this carbonara with my eyes closed (sometimes they are!). After a long day filming on ITV This Morning or writing up recipes I crave this creamy smoky peppery dish. Here’s how the evening goes... I get everything prepped ahead, and the water boiling for the pasta then I take my glass of wine with up to the bath. After a long soak, I get into my PJs and finish off the pasta. Then the fire gets lit, movie goes on and I curl up on the sofa with this bowl of heaven that makes me feel right again...

Linguini Vongole

As the sweet juices of clams mingle with white wine, chilli and garlic in this classic Italian dish, they create a fragrant sauce that coats the pasta — one of my all-time favourite summer suppers.
