After a lengthy cookbook-related creative hiatus, I’m so excited to share with you one of our most delicious recipes yet. South America has always been one of Pasta et Al’s most enthusiastic audiences, and this dish is built on the flavours of the Argentinian locro, a hearty stew of meat and vegetables. We’ve combined these elements with our unbeatable bone broth, producing a clear stock of beef, chorizo, butternut pumpkin, and baby corn. After straining, those ingredients are combined with a punchy chimichurri, forming the filling for our tortellini. Finally, our pasta dough is made in two parts, one with floral pink peppercorns, and the other with classic, warming black peppercorns.

There’s nothing like cooking with fresh, carefully sourced ingredients, but it’s not always that easy. Sometimes you just need a dish that you can make from tins and cans and a handful of greens. This time around, as I peeked into the cupboard, I was really in the mood for beans.
