Notes
Onions and Garlic: I use pre prepared chopped and frozen onions and garlic.
Tinned Tomatoes and Tomato Puree: It is really important to buy good quality tinned tomatoes and puree for this recipe as they are where lots of the flavour comes from. I like the brands Cirio or Mutti in the UK.
Stock: Vegetable stock made with a cube is fine. I like Marigold powder.
Pesto: Any jar of ready made pesto is fine for this.
Nutrition values: Nutritional info does not include the additional optional garnishes/sandwich/croutons.
