  Very easy and quick to make. I bit on the bland side for me, could of been a bit more garlicky to be honest

  My husband had leeks and cabbage as his main meal and said it was v tasty! Nauseated/weak/dispirited due to renal failure/hospitalised one month - so max 1litre/day and saltfree: Used far more garlic/less pasta/added fresh basil/lots of whole cumin and at end separated his and mine into the 2 dishes that I was already using; added grated cheese to mine; small amount of chopped orange pepper, paprika and crushed chilies to his.

  This is ridiculously easy, but also pretty tasty. I also use more garlic than it says, but that's about the only alteration. It's also really easy to scale up - I've cooked this for 16 people using two camping stoves, and it went down a storm.
