A childhood favourite. Although it’s the same recipe for any kima (meat sauce) recipe I make, the cut of pasta always makes a delicious difference.

I remember in 2018, Aegean Airlines served this. Now I never eat aeroplane food, ever! I remember everyone on board was so impressed with it and so was I after trying it. It was delicious! Do they still serve it? I’ll fly Aegean just to eat this again 🤣.

Over medium heat combine the oil, onion and garlic and sauté until it’s sweats. Add the beef mince and break it apart over the heat stirring through continuously until it’s browned (approx 10 mins).

Pour in the white wine and cook off the alcohol for 2-3 minutes. Add the crushed tomatoes, dried herbs and spices and stir through. Follow by adding 1.5 cups of water and combine everything well. Add your seasoning and allow the sauce to simmer over medium heat for approximately 30-40 minutes with the lid ajar stirring occasionally until the sauce has thickened.

Boil the Koralaki as per package instructions and once al dente, strain and combine with the kima (meat sauce). Sprinkle with plenty of myzithra, grated kefalogaviera or any hard cheese you like.

🌽Still looking for away to use up corn!? Look no further then my YELLOW CHANTERELLE MOREL CORN LINGUINE. I created this pasta for my monthly blog post called SIMPLY PASTA on

.  I’m still drooling🤤I’m a major fan of mushrooms and the morels and chanterelles mixed with the corn is a game changer.

1 pound (ish) yellowfoot chanterelles sliced (leave small ones whole)

2 cobs corn kernels removed (reserve cobs for corn stock)

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.  Cook linguine till al dente and reserve pasta water.

While pasta is cooking, heat a large pan with olive oil and chili flakes.  Add onion to pan and cook for 2-3 minutes.  Add garlic and chanterelles.  Cook until mushrooms start to soften and add morels.  Add a splash of pasta water, season with salt and pepper and toss to combine.  Add in peas, corn and chickpeas, season again.  Once pasta is cooked toss into pan, add ¼-1/2 cup pasta water and some vegan parmesan to emulsify and toss to incorporate.  Finish with olive oil, vegan parmesan and microgreens.

Transfer into pasta bowls and sprinkle with flaky salt, cracked pepper and chili flakes.

🍝The misters son and gf joined us at the cottage for a couple of days and I was craving sausage pasta. Nothing beats this simple delicious meal made even better with a big delicious salad with all local produce.

Cook pasta reserving 1/2 cup pasta water. Cook onion and garlic until fragrant and add shrooms. Season with salt and pepper. Use a sharp knife to remove sausage casing, pull sausage with your fingers and place in pan. Sauté until cooked, add zucchini, season again. Add sauce, cheese, basil leaves.

*use a splash of pasta water if mixture becomes too dry.
