Often people have this misconception that you can only make meat skewers in the summer and cooked on a BBQ – this is not the case. Make sure once the skewers are ready to be cooked that your griddle pan is very very hot to enable the meat not to get stuck to the pan. Use sirloin steak if you prefer and if you don’t like mushrooms substitute it with shallot onions.

Without doubt this has to be one of my father’s favourite pasta dishes. I remember when I used to live with him it was a must-have dish at least once a week but not always with the same shape of pasta. Please make sure that you never use tuna in brine for this recipe and if you like you can add some capers to the sauce.
