  1. I had a suspicion that the sauced seemed awfully bland with just a pinch of salt, pepper and oregano and thyme. And once I tasted it, it was indeed bland. So I remedied it whilst cooking and added garlic powder, chicken powder, onion powder, paprika, red chilli flakes, mixed herbs, and cajun seasoning. Not too much, a little of each. And it turned out wonderfully flavoursome and not in need of any protein.

  2. Looks and tastes lovely….but trying to combine piled up vegetables, pasta and spinach in one pan is not as easy as it looks! Mine went all over the hob!!! Notice that that in the film that bit was very carefully edited:))))

  3. Hey Nicky – Absolutely love the channel! My daughter is vegetarian and I’m trying to do more for her. Thanks so much for this recipe. Question … could I put chopped Swiss chard in instead of spinach as its incredibly easy to grow and I’ve got tons? Also … mushroom? Would you fry the mushrooms a bit first, if they are ok, just to help them keep their shape and texture? Love it all… getting very foodie now. You are such a star ⭐️ love from Clive and Hannah x
