Gather friends together and share this warming festive menu, inspired by the flavours and dishes of Italy.
Jamie Robinson, Tesco executive chef, product development, says: ‘Tis the season for entertaining! Why not host an Italian-style meal with a festive twist? We’ve got three delicious recipes to try, from our Christmassy spin on a carbonara to polpette flavoured with cranberry and Brie. Serve with plenty of S.Pellegrino; this quality sparkling water is perfect for special occasions. The gentle bubbles will enhance the flavours in the food, like the rich cheeses, roasted nuts and seasonal veggies.
Start things off with a pasta course; we love this Christmassy take on a classic carbonara. Spaghetti is tossed with golden, crispy sprouts, earthy chestnuts and salty pancetta in this 30-minute recipe.
These one-pan meatballs are a great sharing main for Christmas dinner parties. Made with brie and cranberries for festive flavour, the polpette are nestled in a spicy tomato sauce. Serve with plenty of S. Pellegrino for the table; the lightly sparkling water is a refreshing accompaniment to this warming dish.
We love a winter salad that's packed with seasonal flavours and textures. This delicious platter of earthy kale, sweet butternut squash, roasted grapes and crunchy walnuts makes a great dinner party side – or add Gorgonzola for a lighter veggie main.
