It’s a last ode to a summer that we never had and it’s pure sunshine on a plate! Spaghetti with yellow courgette, chili pepper, olive oil and garlic.

Summer came and went and I didn’t even feel like there was a summer; in fact, my mind is really still in March! I’m always grateful and thankful for all the blessings in my life but with all the turmoil happening in the world today the thought that we’re almost back to the cold and that winter is just around the corner again is a sobering thought.
