Just as life seemed to be getting back to normal, Singapore has once again slipped back into lockdown with Phase 2 (Heightened Alert). Naturally, aside from engaging delivery services and leaving the sanctity of our houses for some takeaway, the only other option is to hunt down recipes that are easy and would not result in a house fire. Italian-Australian actress and host of TV show Cook Like an Italian Silvia Colloca’s Smoked Trout Tagliatelle with Lemon Pangrattato is exactly that.
Born in Milan to Italian parents, Silvia Colloca takes pride in her heritage, often recreating the recipes she learned in her mother and grandmother’s kitchens. Her Smoked Trout Tagliatelle with Lemon Pangrattato is a quick and easy way to fill your stomach, not to mention this pasta dish is light, chock full of healthy ingredients, and delicious to boot.
