This is my go to pasta sauce – perfect for when I’ve had a busy day and need something quick, easy and nutritious for dinner. But, shhhhhhh! Don’t tell the kids it contains anchovies!! You don’t have to add them, but they create a unique and subtle richness – give it a go, even if you don’t like them, I promise you won’t notice they are in there!

For when you need a light, quick and tasty lunch!

The mushroom part of this dish was a subscriber request – I am so pleased that they asked! It took a while to get it right, but boy was it worth it! Simple and tasty – what more could you want!

This is a great way to serve salmon and is definitely a favourite in our house! It’s a healthy dish that is simple to make and tastes delicious.

This is one of the most well-known Italian pasta dishes – it is simply pasta with an aubergine and tomato sauce. Adding some of the pasta water to the sauce is a great tip: it adds flavour, glues the sauce and pasta together and thickens the sauce.

Sometimes it can be hard to think of alternatives to your much-loved meat dishes; this tuna fajita is just that! It’s lighter and fresher than a traditional one and tastes amazing!

Proof that meat-free doesn’t have to be bland and boring! This recipe is bursting with goodness, super tasty and vegan (especially invented for all my meat-free friends!)

A delicious meal with minimal preparation and minimal washing up…win-win!!

Delicious creamy beans that are delicious as a side but special enough to be the main dish. I like to serve it with a hunk of bread to soak up those juices.

This dish was born when I was short of time and had no breadcrumbs in the freezer! The onions are an amazing addition and it is now a firm favourite in the Gillies household!

We are a big fan of curries in our house and this one is delicious and, as far as curries go, relatively simple to cook!

This is one of those dishes that I make and then wonder why we don’t have it more often! It is a great way of using up leftover veggies but, you can also cook the veg and make them (frozen mash is the way forward if you are doing this!!)
