‘The trouble with eating Italian food is that five or six days later, you’re hungry again’, said Hollywood director, George Miller.

If you feel that you are long overdue a slap-up pasta extravaganza, then grab with today’s Big Deal for a two course dinner for two from Jamie’s Italian.

And just to doubly spoil you, they’ve thrown in a glass of fizz each too.

Lovely jubbly Italian grubbly
