Family-style Italian
A combination of Italian hearty foods for all ages
I love planning country themed spreads when I’m hosting. I also love to push the boat out and make something that’s going to impress…but I also have friends and family with kids at a fussy food age.
This collection combines a beef short rib ragu to tantalise the adults, slow cooked meatballs for the kids (and adults too, to be honest!) and a refreshing tomato panzanella salad on the side so we get our greens. We like to make our own pasta to go with this, as well as a crusty bread, but any store bought pasta goes well with it if you need shapes kids will eat.
To top it off with dessert, I serve a chocolate chip ricotta cake.
