01
Start with a shape
Penne for the thick sauces. Fusilli for pesto and the little bits. Choose a shape you love and keep a box within reach.
02
Add something with character
A tin of tomatoes, a jar of beans, good olive oil, capers and dried chilli can take dinner in all sorts of directions. You do not need everything. Start with what you actually enjoy.
03
Leave room for something fresh
A lemon, a handful of herbs or the last leafy greens in the fridge will bring your pantry staples to life. Taste as you go. Dinner is yours to make.
