Rachel Roddy’s recipe for hand-rolled pasta with pea and ricotta pesto

To begin with I worked with actors, most notably with Alessio, who was preparing to audition for an English mini-series. Tall and broad, Alessio could only get into character while pacing or leaning, palms flat on the table, and rocking, which seemed at odds with both the scene he was preparing for, and my small flat.

I'm notoriously bad at eating properly on weekday mornings before I rush off to work, and I know not eating enough can make you feel colder.
