Beef cannelloni is a savory Italian dish consisting of large pasta tubes, filled with a flavourful mixture of ground beef, herbs, spices, and vegetables. The filled tubes are then placed in a baking dish, covered with a rich tomato sauce, and often topped with cheese before being baked until bubbly and golden brown.

Everyone loves ragù, or bolognese as we call it – it’s a real crowd-pleaser. This is a great make-ahead recipe, so try to cook it at your leisure the day or morning before as it always tastes better when it’s been cooked a few hours before serving. I make it with half pork and half beef – the minced beef alone makes for a coarse chunky sauce, but adding the pork makes it sweeter and fuller in flflavour. I always double up the recipe as it freezes so well. Delicious served with pappardelle as here, it is also perfect with linguine or spaghetti, and of course lots of freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top.

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...

This is the traditional Italian ‘Cacio e Pepe’ recipe and I call it my Pasta Amore because I love everything about it. You just need pasta, cheese, butter and black pepper to make it. It is so fast to prepare, you don’t need to think about what you are doing (it’s that easy) and the result is the most delicious, silky pasta. No variations required, it’s perfect as it is!

Peppery, nutty and creamy textures and flavours oozing into the pasta. I am using fusilli here but you could use any kind of pasta you have to hand. Swap out the kale for flat leaf parsley or basil if you prefer, and the walnuts can be substituted for hazelnuts or pine nuts.

I love making this dish during the spring because it’s so light and fragrant. During the remainder of the year, I simply replace the wild garlic with other fresh herbs that are in season, such as basil, mint, or oregano. I sometimes add grilled fish, shrimp, or chicken to this dish for a weekday one-course suppe
