If there is an Italian equivalent to mashed potatoes, something you can serve with—or under—just about anything, it’s got to be polenta. Maybe it’s the Italian in me, but i like its texture and the sweet corn flavour a lot more. Spinach makes it somewhat virtuous and also so pretty. This is rich, so serve it in small portions.

This is the fastest fish dish you will ever make and my first choice when I have friends coming over for a quick weeknight get-together. It’s super colourful and impressive, with the flavours of Positano in every bite. This will serve four if you have a first course or are eating lighter; otherwise, serve two fillets per person.
