Roasted Italian vegetables

A flavoursome accompaniment to grilled meat or fish.

Vegetable frittata

A delicious quick-to-make recipe, this egg dish is a cross between an omelette and a quiche - but without all the fuss or the fat of pastry! With its pumpkin base, it's a complete meal, ideal for vegetarians.

Fusilli pasta with salmon & baby spinach

Try this easy pasta recipe when you need a quick dinner and all you've got in the cupboard is a can of salmon and some fusilli or penne pasta. It's low GI (good for diabetes), low in saturated fat and high in those helpful omega-3s.

Mediterranean vegetables and tuna

Tuna teams nicely with tomatoes, eggplant, capsicum and olive oil - all key ingredients of the heart-winning Mediterranean Diet.

Italian sardine pasta with caper and lemon dressing

Sardines are an oily fish which is high in omega-3s. Easy and convenient in cans, most people just put them on toast. This is a tangy recipe that uses them in a different way.

Tuna and cannellini bean salad

Easy and full-flavoured, this salad gets better the day after as the flavours develop. The beans makes it low GI and high in fibre while the tuna adds protein and those all-important omega-3s.

Easy chicken and pasta salad

Whip up this quick summer salad for a lunch or light dinner - easy if you've got leftover cooked pasta. And it works with all sorts of ingredients. See some of the variations you can try below.

Dead-simple Mediterranean veal
Here's my favourite quick-and-easy dinner recipe. It's made in minutes and will have family and friends asking for it time and again. You can vary this dish by adding thin slices of eggplant or replacing the grated mozzarella with slices of baby bocconcini.

 

Tagliatelle with chilli meatballs
We used tagliatelle - long strips of egg pasta - for this dish, but you could use any egg pasta such as fettuccine or the wider pappardelle - or even spaghetti if that's the family favourite. Or for added health benefits, toss in half a cup of cooked lentils or chick peas into the tomato sauce.
