Fusilli Ricotta & Tomato Pasta
In the Summertime we crave pasta as much as we do in the winter. We used wholemeal fusilli to make this recipe a little lighter, the nutty flavour of the wholemeal pasta is seriously delicious and healthy of course!
We have the best childhood memories of pasta, growing up in a greek family it was a family staple, Yiayia would have a big pot of plain spaghetti ( yes plain) there was something so significant about Yiayia’s plain pasta. She would brown her butter in a pot and then add the pasta. For us simple food is what we grew up on.
Its all about the tomatoes in this recipe ripe, juicy and sweet. Watching the tomatoes slowly cook and burst into the oil makes the perfect salsa. Our kitchen smells just like Greece.
Enjoy this recipe with a glass of our favourite greek red wine – Alpha Estate Pinot Noir.

Strolling the Streets of Athens in 35 degree heat, we stumbled across the Fresh food Markets located just a 10 minute walk from the city centre. It was foodie heaven, old greek men yelling at us trying to sell their finest pieces of meat as well as “perving” whilst we walked by wearing red lipstick. 
The aromas from this cake take us back to mum’s kitchen on a Sunday morning. We were always celebrating someones birthday or christening, so this was one of mum’s favourite cakes to bake for the occasion. This cake is moist, sweet and has a good amount of spice! Enjoy with a cup of Chai latte.
