We naturally got to chatting with Andrea (the mamma) about her homemade style food, as we at The Hong Kong Cookery obviously think that homemade is cooler than cool! And Andrea was nice enough to let us have one of her own recipes to share with our readers...
So without further ado, here is mamma Andrea's own recipe for homemade Roast Pumpkin and Sage Pasta Sauce. Figlia Charlotte advises that this pasta sauce can be put with all sorts of different kind of pasta but is particularly yummy with stuffed Ravioli or Rigatoni. (She should know, she grew up eating it!) And be sure to check out the original pasta dish and and say hello to Andrea and Charlotte at The Pasta Place if you find yourself out and about in Sheung Wan some fine day soon!
