I can honestly say that I enjoyed each and every one, and I’ve popped all the details below so you can visit them too. I’ve also included two food stores to the list, as they are well worth a visit.

There are so many wonderful flavours in today’s recipe! In this cosy, vegetarian dish pasta tubes are filled with a creamy ricotta and spinach filling, with added mushrooms, parmesan and a hint of zesty lemon to lift it all.

Butternut and spinach phyllo pie

Published on April 30, 2026April 30, 2026 by Teresa Ulyate2 Comments

Ooh I’ve got a goodie for you today. I love working with phyllo pastry – once you get the hang of it, it’s surprisingly simple to use, and the crisp, golden crunch it delivers is fabulous. Here, spiced butternut is roasted and caramelised to bring out its depth of flavour, combined with sautéed spinach and creamy chevin, and encased in flaky, delicate pastry. It’s absolutely delicious, looks impressive but is wonderfully unfussy to make.

The comforting combination of fruit and custard feels just a little bit elevated, but still simple enough to make at home. This is the kind of dessert my family loves when it’s just us at home for dinner. It works just as well when you’re entertaining guests.

There’s also something about a loaf cake that feels so achievable, and I’m sure you’re going to love this recipe as much as we do.
