1. Langoustine & squid-ink spaghetti
Straight from the specials board of Jamie's Italian and chosen by the man himself, this beautiful dish is light and packed full of flavour in equal measure. Sweet Scottish langoustine, cooked in a rich and spicy 'Nduja sauce with luscious cherry tomatoes, then tossed in fresh squick-ink black spaghetti. Incredible!
2. Speedy spaghetti
If you’re after a quick and easy recipe that tastes sublime, give Gennaro’s Speedy spaghetti a go. Anchovies, garlic and sliced chilli are pan-fried, tossed through the pasta and finished with parsley and a grating of pecorino cheese. Fast food never tasted so good!
3. Fresh seafood linguine
