A Taste of Spring: Our Vibrant New Seasonal Pasta at The Olive Tree, Spalding
When the seasons change, so does our kitchen. At The Olive Tree Spalding, our teams culinary philosophy is entirely produce-led—meaning we let the freshest, highest-quality ingredients dictate what lands on your plate.
If you have stopped by our Francis Street restaurant recently, you might have caught a glimpse of this absolute showstopper making its way across the dining room. Perfectly capturing the crisp, bright flavours of a classic Lincolnshire spring, this new artisanal pasta dish is fast becoming a firm favourite for lunchtime diners and evening foodies alike.
Here is what makes this stunning plate a must-try on your next visit to PE11’s favourite independent eatery.
Fresh, Vibrant & Bursting with Flavour
This isn't your standard, heavy bowl of pasta. Designed to be light yet deeply satisfying, every component of this dish has been carefully curated to bring a touch of the Mediterranean coast right to the heart of Spalding:
Artisanal Short Pasta: We use a premium, textured short pasta shape designed to perfectly catch and hold our glossy, emulsified white wine and herb sauce.
The Best of the Season’s Greens: Tossed with crisp, sweet seasonal greens and tender asparagus tips—celebrating the very best of local regional produce.
Rich Shaved Parmesan: Finished with a incredibly generous scattering of sharp, nutty, aged Parmesan (Grana Padano) cheese that melts beautifully into the warm pasta.
Vibrant Pea Shoots: Topped with fresh, peppery micro-greens to add a crisp texture and a pop of bright colour to the bowl.
Whether you are looking for an exceptional vegetarian option in Spalding or simply want a fresh, elegant dish that pairs beautifully with a sunny afternoon, this plate delivers on every level.
🥂 The Perfect Pairing
To elevate these light, herbaceous flavours, we highly recommend pairing this dish with a glass of crisp, mineral-forward Pecorino or a chilled Sauvignon Blanc from our wine list. Enjoying it for lunch? It is equally brilliant alongside a refreshing, cold craft cider or a light local ale out in our courtyard.
