Donal's roast cherry tomato pici

I apologise to my regular readers, who have seen variants of this recipe throughout my cookbooks. It started as a cheap dinner for two but now it's become a staple part of our regular weeknight family meals. The idea is to roast sweet cherry tomatoes and garlic until their flavour intensifies and then press together with a fork in the roasting tray to create the perfect coating for freshly cooked pasta. In this version, we make our own pici, one of the easiest pastas to make which can be made in the time the sauce cooks.

Donal's spicy migas eggs

Typically a Mexican or Tex-Mex breakfast dish this also makes a cracking supper. Feel free to experiment with what you add to your eggs: chorizo, black beans or pickled jalapeños go down a treat.

Donal's Irish farmhouse vegetable soup

This version is as true to the vegetable soup I grew up with, even though it sometimes came from a carton! It's a real bowl of comfort, particularly if you choose to add the seriously good rosemary croutons - they keep well in an airtight container and are also lovely added to a salad for flavour and crunch.

Donal Skehan's roast butternut squash

A rather bougie way of zhuzhing up shop-bought ingredients with fabulous results (most of the ingredients for this recipe can be bunged into a shopping trolley on the way home from work). The whipped goats' cheese also works well as a dip; add a little cream cheese if you prefer a milder flavour and then top it with oven-roasted cherry tomatoes and pitta chips for dipping.
