Testaroli al pesto

Testaroli are an ancient dish from the Lunigiana region, a valley between Tuscany and Liguria. Simply made of flour and water, they are pancakes that turn into a delicious pasta, dressed with pesto.

Carote caramellate al forno con arance sanguinelle - Honey-roasted Carrots and Blood Oranges

The inspiration for this was my local stall in Portobello market, where yesterday I spotted shining blood oranges next to bunches of young carrots. 

Torta di spaghetti – Spaghetti Pie

Here I propose a spaghetti cake to relief the hustle of last minute cooking. 
It's a delicious and beautiful dish, which could be easily prepared few hours in advance and just baked 45 minutes before eating. 
The plain tomato sauce will bring colour and would enhance the Mediterranean flavour.
It is a perfect one-course dish for a family meal or one of main courses for a bigger gathering.
