Have got 3 River Cafe books and never cooked a single recipe, you may have inspired me, thanks.

6000g tomatoes? thats 10 cans!

[Paschaelina]

15!

[LakeFlyPie]

sorry, think that was DS's input!

600g probably more advisable

[Paschaelina]

phew, fancy trying the recipe but not that keen on tomatoes...

Thanks so much, Lakeflypie, that's so kind. Can thoroughly recommend this recipe, and the sausage pasta and aubergine pasta recipes in the blue book too
