Amazing meatballs 5 ways, pasta, pies, popcorn bread...
Seafood and sausage is a winning combo and mixing fettuccine with zoodles – zucchini noodles – gives you the best of both worlds. Plus, apart from the pasta, it’s all cooked in the oven. Too easy!

peeled tomatoes
3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil Sea-salt flakes and freshly ground
