In the OWK studio, Italian chef Vanessa Gianfrancesco shows us how to cook three simple Italian sauces. She starts with a creamy spinach and ricotta sauce served over fusilli pasta. The dish is topped with scallions, parmigiana reggiano and fresh nutmeg to highlight each flavour in the dish. Next is a bucatini pasta with a seafood sauce that reminds Vanessa of the markets in Southern Italy. Fresh snapper, mussels and scallops are mixed with clam juice and tomatoes to create a sauce that would make Vanessa's aunt proud. The third sauce features sausage and leek served over orecchiette pasta. Wine, cream and Dijon are added to tie in all the flavours of this quick dish. Finally, Vanessa offers some tips on cooking the perfect pasta.
