I am rarely doing invited restaurant reviews any more.  In some way, it makes me feel guilty when I get a free meal and I have to give a devastating review.  Unfortunately there is no way I could have written a positive or even moderate review about Imli, an Indian tapas restaurant in the middle of Soho.

Ute Cooks: PENNE E PISELLI

Even though I love all kinds of meat, fish and seafood, my favourite pastas are vegetarian ones. Nothing is more enjoyable than authentic Penne All’Arrabiata, wonderful are simple Spaghetti al Pomodoro and Penne Alla Norma (with tomato and aubergine) need to be ordered whenever I see it on the menu.

In addition to these rather famous paste, I love one that I have hardly seen anywhere on a restaurant menu. Penne e Piselli is very cheap, easy and fast to prepare,  it’s surprisingly tasty and you need few ingredients. This pasta I think originates from peasant food in Naples  (I’ll let me Italian readers rectify this, should it be wrong). Some people prepare it with pancetta, I prefer the vegetarian version:
