I love Italian food so admittedly I'm a little biased but the first time I tried the Penne Giadiniera at Carluccio's, I thought I was in heaven! This dish is simple but so incredibly tasty and satisfying, large penne pasta drizzled with olive oil, copious amounts of garlic and grated courgettes. Topped with little balls of crunchy spinach deliciousness. This dish is so satisfying and the beauty of it is that you can have it with a vegetarian friend as there's not morcel of meat or fish in sight.
And that's not all folks, Antonio Carluccio sets the charitable standard for other restaurants by donating 50p from every dish of Penne Giardiniera to Action Against Hunger, the humanitarian charity that works in over 40 countries helping families to feed their children and build a sustainable future.
A visit to Carluccio's is highly recommended, aside from yummy Italian dishes in the restaurant, each branch has an adjacent deli which serves up anything from fresh olives to huge scrumptious meringues to diving slices of carrot cake topped with a cream cheese icing. But if geography prevents you from visiting the restaurants located all over the UK and Dubai, then try making this dish yourself. The recipe can be found on their food blog. http://www.carluccios.com/our-food/blog/food/my-first-blog-item
If your creation makes your mouth water, you can just imagine how much better it will taste when you try the real thing made by the Italian master chefs and how much better you'll feel knowing that you're satisfyng your taste buds and your social conscience.
