Three quick, clever, full-of-flavor recipes from the Naked Chef.

My easy homemade pasta recipe is great for emergencies. You don’t need a pasta machine, just a rolling pin.

This is a beautifully simple, classic Sicilian pasta dish – it’s incredibly satisfying, full of flavour, and feels like a great big hug in a bowl. It also contains two of your five-a-day (bonus!), and the nutty-flavoured wholewheat pasta is much higher in fibre than the white refined stuff (double bonus!), so is a fantastic switch to make.
