Inspired by Melbourne’s City Wine Shop – a bustling Italian bistro (and bottle shop) serving masterful dishes with a balanced selection of European and Australian wines – this pasta will have you feeling like you are dining in an alfresco trattoria in 10 minutes.

Spring means rhubarb. When cooked down, these long blush stalks turn into a delicious sweet and sour compote. Make a batch and have this on hand to dollop onto porridge, yoghurt or vanilla ice cream.
