Sharon Horgan is buzzing about our fresh tuna puttanesca pasta
Leaving her hungry would be nothing short of a Catastrophe…Writer, actor, director and producer Sharon Horgan joins us to chat about her new show, Youth. A dramedy exploring the perils of ageing and finding love after divorce, it's a fitting addition to Sharon's impressive back catalogue that delves into the less glamorous corners of domestic life. The series sparks conversation in the studio, from the realities of motherhood to fluctuating feelings about ageing.Having grown up on a turkey farm and spent years as a vegetarian, Sharon has seen her food tastes take a few turns along the way, including a return to meat eating. With lasagne among her favourites, it feels like a good excuse to kick things off with Alex Szrok’s recipe for lasagne fritti. These are enjoyed alongside a bitter, sweet and suitably buzzy tequila and grapefruit sbagliato, before Angela serves up fresh tuna puttanesca pasta. It’s accompanied by a bottle of Ayala Brut Majeur Champagne, selected by the Waitrose wine experts.As expected, Sharon proves as entertaining a guest as she is a writer, recalling the bold childhood career plans she shared with her mum at a very young age. Those ambitions have since paid off in shows like Catastrophe, Bad Sisters and Motherland, which counts Nick, Angela and even Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher among its devoted fans. With years spent both behind and in front of the camera, Sharon is the perfect person to settle a debate that’s been on our minds for some time: when it comes to feeding a film crew, does Hollywood really do it best?
