Light Meals and Weekend Treats from an English Woman in Berlin
I don’t actually need an excuse for an Aperitif but I always find that the summer months are the perfect opportunity to do so. I love nothing more than on a warm evening to put together a few little snacks, like these Mozzarella, Olive and Tomato Crostini and to serve with an ice-cold Aperol Spritz. I always think that we don’t do the Aperitif as often as we should, and I think that is largely down to just having the time to do so….
Any dish that can be thrown into the oven and left to cook is a winner for me. I do love one pan recipes and it is why pasta works so well. A Blue Cheese, Broccoli and Walnut Tagliatelle or a Chilli, Prawn and Rocket Linguine can be put together in minutes. If I am wanting to cut down on the number of pasta dishes that week but still want that easy and quick recipe then Courgetti with Meatballs is a great midweek meal and perfect to pack in some extra veg to your diet….
I have fallen a bit behind on the blogging the past few weeks. Wedding planning, work and lots of traveling have taken up a lot of my time but that doesn’t mean I have given up on cooking! Weekday favourites such as Pad Thai and Veggie Curry have helped me still plan to have a home cooked meal even during a busy week. Now that the weather has picked up and spring is officially here I am looking forward to a bit more al fresco dining! I can’t wait to tuck into a fresh Banh Mi on a warm evening or enjoy a bowl of Panzanella. …
This is a perfect starter and is great with any Italian pasta dish or light meal. It is easy to make and ideal for a nice midweek meal or to be enjoyed at the weekend.
