Roast seabass
As an English girl used to getting her fish served in pies, batter or fillets, I remember feeling horrified the first time I was served a fish with its head still on it in a coastal village restaurant in Spain :D A fish with eyes and a mouth???? NOOOOOOO!!! Many years, and a lot of heads later, I actually prefer to roast a whole fish with its head still entact - not only does it add to the flavour, but also the most tender part of the whole fish is hidden in the cheek area so it really shouldn't be thrown in to the bin or a soup. Seabass is great to roast because the flesh is so firm and tasty. This one is roasted on a bed of vegetables that not only act as extra flavour, they also provide a tasty side dish. Hope you enjoy it :-)

Last-Minute Baked Pasta (No Tomato Sauce, No Béchamel) Last-Minute Baked Pasta (No Tomato Sauce, No Béchamel)
Hi everyone! Today we got home a bit late, but since it's Sunday, I still wanted to make something delicious. Here's a light and super quick baked pasta—no béchamel and with a quick sauce made from tomato paste. I thought it might not be as good as the traditional baked pasta with ragù and béchamel, but it turned out just as tasty. It gets top marks from me!P.S.: As you'll see, I really did it like the grandmas used to—making baked pasta to use up leftover bits of pasta or sauce. It was truly a way to use up what you had. Here I used wheels, rigatoni, and farfalle. I have to say, today this baked pasta also became a dish full of memories.

This baked frittata with artichokes and potatoes is incredibly soft thanks to the potatoes. The rule is to use about 1.75 ounces (50 grams) of potatoes for each egg. With that in mind, give it a try!

Baked Potato and Red Onion Frittata (All Raw Ingredients) Baked Potato and Red Onion Frittata (All Raw Ingredients)
This is a super simple recipe. The potatoes, which are cut into fairly small pieces, cook perfectly right in the oven without any trouble. They really taste like roasted potatoes, because that's exactly what they are—the result is a delicious, savory casserole. You can also add some American cheese slices in the middle (I do this) for extra creaminess, and season with a pinch of nutmeg.
