I followed recipe . However I didn’t have sun dried tomatoes or basil pesto. I substituted them with a tomato paste with basil from a tube. Also chucked in a tin of lentils I needed to use. Very yummy. It was even better the next day when all the flavours had enriched the mince.
Will be making this again ?
Can I put the pasta in to cook after 5 hours or is it best to cook pasta seperately?
Best to do separately only because to add pasta you need more liquid than this recipe has as it soaks it up significantly. More info HERE
