  I added a spoon of marmite to this to give it a bit of seasoning but tastes great, even better the next day!

  Fantastic, the whole family were very happy. I served it with garlic croutons made from stale bread. Yum!

  I used chickpeas instead of borlotti beans; I added a turnip (cubed) and I used cabbage instead of kale - I doubled the recipe. I gave half of it to a family who had had a death in the family - our community take turns to make supper for a bereaved family or a family with a new baby usually for a week or so after the event.

  Used cannelini beans and added farfalline to the recipe. And it just tasted fantastic. Will be doing this again!

  I made twice as much and because I've saved up loads of those plastic soup containers from people's bought supermarket soups, I froze some of it and had a yummy, nutricious evening/midday meal for a week!

  This is one of my regular make ahead lunches for work, make a batch on Sunday and bring into the work for the a few lunches a week! In the latest version I made I used tinned cherry tomatos after watching Nigella using them in a pasta dish, they added a whole new dimension to the dish and I would highly recommend
