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.
