Hello my angels,
Welcome back to Part Two of Hosting an Italian Dinner Party! In this vlog, today is the day our guests arrive, and we are in full swing of cooking, floral arranging and tablescaping! Then, come with us into a secret spot in our home: the wine cellar! All before our guests arrive and we enjoy a wonderful evening together celebrating a dear friend.
Sending you so much love,
Leonora xxx

RECIPES
Aubergine Parmigiana
Olive Oil, Garlic, thyme, sage basil, chopped tomatoes, red wine vinegar, golden caster sugar, aubergines, parmesan cheese, mozarella
Cook your garlic, thyme and sage, and cook gently on a low heat in the olive oil for a few mins. Tip in the tomatoes, vinegar and sugar, and gently simmer for 20-25 mins until thickened a little.
While the sauce is cooking, brush the aubergine slices on both sides with olive oil, then griddle or fry in batches.
In your baking dish, spread a little of the tomato sauce over the base. Top the sauce with a layer of aubergine slices and season well. Spoon over a bit more sauce, then add your mozzarella, Parmesan and basil leaves, repeat!
Bake for 30-40 mins until the top is crisp and golden, and the tomato sauce bubbling. Rest for 10 mins before serving.
Spicy Sausage Ragu
Olive oil, onion, garlic cloves, chilli flakes, rosemary sprigs, chopped tomatoes, brown sugar, pork sausages, 150ml whole milk, lemon, grated parmesan, pasta of choice
Fry your onion with the olive oil and with a pinch of salt. Add the garlic, chilli and rosemary, and cook for a little longer. Tip in the tomatoes and sugar, and simmer for 20 mins. In a separate pan, squeeze the sausagemeat from the skins and fry in olive oil, breaking it up with a wooden spoon until golden. Add to the sauce with the milk and lemon zest, then simmer until thick and aromatic. Serve with your pasta of choice.
