Bacon Rigatoni
There’s an Italy-meets-Greece vibe to tonight’s dinner. Pasta and bacon lardons are in the Italian corner and feta cheese is representing the Greek contingent. They’re joined by luscious roast aubergine which is equally beloved of both countries. It’s like being on holiday in two places at once. For added dinner table fun, organise a geography quiz as dinner cooks and get the kids to point out Greece and Italy!
