I love how with a season dissapearing a new season comes delivering new colours, new weather and new food. I enjoy cooking with ingredients that are typical for a season because you are sure they are fresh and they just give that little extra spark to that dish. This time of the year, with its cold mornings and warm afternoons I love making pasta. The great thing about pasta is that it is such a wide range of different recipes that you can experiment with. You can make a very light pasta but also a pastabomb full of flavours.My brother and I were home-alone yesterday and we decided to go with some easy pasta with a nice pesto-salmonsauce. Paired with this we decided to go for oventomatoes because with the right ingredients the flavours marry together really well. All really easy to prepare and absolutely wonderful for your tastebuds!
