This is my own take on the classic Italian pasta dish, spaghetti al pomodoro, which is basically spaghetti with a simple but tasty tomato-based sauce. I have enriched the sauce more for my version here, to make it even more flavourful. It’s just a question...
I love the traditional Italian appetiser bruschetta (pronounced “broo-sketta”), and I quite often have it for breakfast/brunch. It is usually eaten as a starter to a meal, or can also be served as a party snack. It’s not only very tasty, but also tomatoes...

Those of you who regularly read and vote for my recipes (thank you, friends!) will probably have noticed a recurring sun-dried tomatoes theme in the ingredients. I discovered them fairly recently and I have become a bit addicted to them, which is why...
