    Wyndham Women’s recipe of the month 

    Vermicilli sweet is culturally symbolic and typically cooked on festive occasions like Diwali, Ganesh pooja, harvest, spring festivals, birthdays, weddings, engagements and house warming ceremonies.

    Zucchini and pesto orecchiette with burrata 

    Pesto is a perfect thing. It’s sharp and cheesy, but fresh and vibrant at the same time. Combined with a creamy sauce, it’s one of the most comforting pasta dishes out there, and perfect for this dreary weather.

    Veggie and ricotta rolls

    The vegetarian version of a sausage roll without lacking any flavour. Every bite into that crispy pastry is a mouth full of deliciousness. You won’t believe it’s wholesome and so good for you.

    Roasted tomato linguine with fresh mozzarella 

    If, like me, you’re trying to deny the fact winter is once again on us, then this is for you.

This pasta is low maintenance if you’re time-poor and is a good way to use up the last of the tomatoes.
