Romesco Sauce
This brilliant sauce is Spanish in origin and in so many ways it reminds me of Italian pesto.

Sweet, tangy, salty and rich. It was originally created to compliment fish but it works with so many other dishes. I love serving it with grilled asparagus, roasted cauliflower or padron peppers, which I did on one occasion when friends came for dinner.

Serving Suggestions
This pasta dish with sausage and spinach could absolutely be served as a complete meal. However, I like adding more vegetables as a side for a nutritional benefit. I recommend serving a simple green salad for an everyday meal or my Tuscan Panzanella salad for a special occasion. If you prefer cooked vegetables in the colder months, take a look at our pan fried zucchini with basil and Pecorino Romano cheese. Another favourite and a suitable choice for winter is lemon garlic green beans with Parmesan. More Delicious Gnocchi Recipes to Try:
