Penne with Asparagus and Prosciutto



This is one of our favorites in spring when sweet, meaty asparagus are in season. To infuse this sauce with a rich asparagus flavor, I save some of the water the asparagus were cooked in and use it to deglaze the skillet.
Serves 4.
Linguine with a Pink Shrimp Sauce



101This is a very elegant sauce that is traditionally served with seafood-filled ravioli. A portion of the shrimp are chopped very fine, giving the sauce a consistency similar to meat sauce. Parsley at the end adds lightness and fragrance.
Serves 4.
Flavoured Oils


Use the same basic method to make all of these oils, just varying the flavouring ingredients. The golden rule is to always use the best oil you can find.
- Juniper berry & bayleaf oil
- Chilli & peppercorn oil
- Garlic & basil oil
- Cumin, coriander & caramom oil
