Sausage and sage stuffed shells
Sausage and sage stuffed shells
“I use wagyu mince in this one as it makes for a rich saucy finish. Serve the shells open-side up, trust me! I make this spicy but you do you in that regard.”
Cheesy macaroni bake
"When the kids ask what's for dinner and I say I'm making a pasta bake, then it's a wrap! They just want the extra-cheesy top." – Monty Koludrovic

Lamb shank malloreddus
“Hailing from Sardinia, malloreddus is a chewy semolina-based dough, as opposed to durum wheat. Semolina is perfect for soaking up all the sauce.”
