Pumpkin and Spinach Skillet Lasagne with Basil Vinaigrette

I posted a recipe for a skillet lasagne last year but this one is quite different, it’s more saucy with very different flavours but the same thrown together easy cheats lasagne appeal. This isn’t really lasagne. It just uses the same sheets and includes a sort of bechamel and the concept of layers. However the layers in this are far more free form and relaxed and way quicker!

Mushroom and Spinach Fettuccine with Lemon and Walnuts

This pasta is so perfect for autumn and winter, and so tasty. Cooking the mushrooms in stock before browning gives such a depth of flavour and the lemon hit lightens things up and makes the most of the beginning citrus season.

Gnocchi with Cavalo Nero, Cauliflower and Goats Cheese

Gnocchi in a cheese sauce? How could you possibly say no to that? You can’t, you’ll just have to make this. It’s a lighter version of a cheese sauce of course because you’re on this website. But it tastes super indulgent and you can use any gnocchi you like.

Eggplant and Mushroom Rigatoni Ragu with Hemp Seeds

This is my favourite quick vegan ragu. By adding the new Thompson’s hemp seeds you get extra protein in each serve which is ideal if you’re going meat free. When I’ve made vegetarian or vegan ragu using eggplant before I’ve slow roasted the ingredients to try and amp up the flavour but it turns out there’s a very simple short cut. A short cut that doesn’t compromise on flavour, I promise.

Gimme all the pasta always. And this pasta has so many of my favourite flavours in it in a delicious harmonious mix.

SKILLET LASAGNE WITH RICOTTA AND GREENS

This dish was a happy accident. I made a kale and lemon pappardelle, and then accidentally left the pan on with the leftovers in it. The pasta got all golden and crispy on the bottom, as did he make and the Parmesan melted through it and it was BETTER. A few other changes later and we have the beautiful, wholesome and easy to make skillet ‘lasange’.
