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.
