September News from Graziella's

Spring is here! Wait! It's not. Wait! It's back again, so it's time to bring out your Italian! From mouthwatering recipes to tips on enjoying la dolce vita, let's dive into how Italian traditions can make your spring even more delightful🌸

The season of blooming flowers 🌸, longer days ☀, and, of course, fresh starts. It is also the month we celebrate our diverse heritages. I hope you celebrate the 24th in style!

Fresh Ingredients for a Fresh Start 🍅🌱

Spring is all about renewal, and what better way to honour that than with fresh ingredients? Embrace this season’s asparagus, artichokes, and basil to create delightful salads or mouthwatering pasta.

Lighten Up with Seafood 🐟🦐

Italian coastal cuisine is a hidden gem when it comes to lighter meals. Spring is the perfect time to indulge in dishes like grilled fish, calamari, and shrimp scampi. And let's not forget Graziella's classic: LINGUINE WITH SWEET PEPPER PESTO, CREAM & SHRIMP. Pair it with a crisp glass of Italian white wine, and you're all set for a beautiful Spring evening.

Pasta Doesn’t Always Mean Heavy 🍝💃

Contrary to popular belief, pasta doesn't have to be your meal's ‘heavy’ component. Switch out rich, meaty sauces for lighter, vegetable-centric. Or what about pasta rice with spring peas and a touch of Parmesan? Trust us; these are game-changers!

Fresh Herbs Are Your Best Friends 🌿👫

Say goodbye to the heaviness of dried herbs and garlic powder. Spring is the season to use fresh herbs like basil, parsley, and chives.

Embrace Something Different 🌼🍽

Stuffed chicken fillets make for an elegant, delicious main course, and adding the luxurious flavours of truffle and mushroom elevates the dish even more. Here's a customizable recipe that you can adjust to suit your taste preferences and cook on a stovetop (no oven needed).

You can get the

Olive oil, Arborio Rice, Le Conserve Crema Tartufo e funghi (Truffle & mushroom cream), and

Whip & Cook UHT Cream from our website to have delivered or collect in-store!

So, as you embrace Spring's renewal and this awesome month of Heritage, remember that Italian cooking is not just about comfort foods. It’s about celebrating life, freshness, and the sheer joy of good eating. This season, don’t just spring clean your home. Spring clean your menu with the vibrant and versatile flavours of Italian cuisine!

Bon appetito and Happy Spring! 🌸🍴
