I already have a version of Spaghetti Vesuvius on this site, but this version from Sophie Grigson’s ” Sunshine Food” is good when fresh tomatoes are in season. You want the ripest, fully flavoured tomatoes for this.
When stone fruit is in season try this recipe from ” Bill’s Italian Food” by Bill Granger. Its great for breakfast or dessert and will keep in the fridge for up to a week. You can replace the plums with peaches or nectarines.Serve with yoghurt or ice cream.
A seasonal recipe from Claudia Roden’s ” The Food of Italy”. This can be served as a first course , a side dish or as a sauce for pasta. It can also be prepared to be served cold, by adding a little lemon juice, sugar and a few mint leaves when cooking.
