Happy World Pasta Day! 🍝✨

Pasta is loved all over the world, but if you’re looking to cut carbs without losing flavour, there are so many ways to enjoy it guilt-free. Try veggie alternatives like courgetti or cabbage ribbons to still enjoy the textures and sauces you love without the sugar spikes. 🙌

One of my favourites is Courgetti with Roman Raw Sauce, a rainbow-coloured sauce inspired by a dish we tasted in Rome years ago. I love how Romans serve cold ricotta over hot pasta (or courgetti!), simple, fresh, and full of flavour.

The pasta you see in the first image? That’s our signature Seabass Ravioli, available at and , a must-try! Also high in carbs, the fish add protein and the buttery sauce adds fat to slow the glucose spike.

Want to try the courgetti recipe yourself? It’s in my latest cookbook: The Diabetes Air Fryer Cookbook. Comment ‘YES’ for more info about this book!👇

With a few clever swaps and fresh ingredients, you can make classic Italian dishes healthier while keeping all the taste you love.

Me pretending to recognise one bird song from another. I love my first coffee of the day outside listening to the dawn chorus. Spring is in the air and it’s so restorative and calming to just sit and listen. I also love the .bird.id helping me to decipher the different players in the bird orchestra.

What was once a traditional breakfast seems to have been forgotten but these smoky, juicy, economical beauties are a great start to the day. Smoked herrings are rich in B12 and omega 3 and they are generally sustainable. Bring back the kipper!

Just a little foraged bounty from the garden plus eggs and yoghurt produced all this. It tastes so much better when home grown doesn’t it? and lovely.
