This pasta recipe is inspired by both Italian and Asian cuisines. Add rigatoni to a sauce made from a mixture of mushrooms that have been chopped and cooked for a long time for maximum flavour, as well as golden tofu with a hint of garlic and soy sauce. Add a touch of green using peas, bok choy and cilantro, and you’ve got a hearty weeknight dinner.

Beluga Lentils with Chorizo, Red Wine and Smashed Squash
Legumes give us a hearty meal in this stew-like dish. Beluga lentils, a variety with small, round, black grains and a nutty taste that goes well with full-bodied sauces, are the pulse of choice here. They are simmered in a broth that is spiced up with diced chorizo and red wine. To balance the flavours, bet on the sweetness of the squash and a dollop of lemony ricotta for the perfect dish to warm up on the first cool days of autumn.

Prosciutto-Cheese Hand
