  I made this for friends as part of the January healthy eating resolution. It was lovely. I added some sunblush tomatoes together with the fresh ones. I will definately be making it again.

  Delish! I put in a bit more chilli and some sun dried toms, tastes great for lunch cold. But I have to say the portion size is extremely generous.

  Excellent!! Really easy way to get your veggie portions, v low in fat, just use whatever veg you have in. I added chilli, there was absolutly loads of it though - even after halving the quantities!

  Fantastic recipe, I make this at least once a week and throw in whatever extras I have, sometimes bacon or mozzarella. The portion size is just right for my boyfriend who eats like a horse! A delicious way to get your veggies.

  Really delicious. I used whole cherry tomatoes, rather than quartered small tomatoes.

  This is one of my favourite dishes as it's great for using up any leftover veg! For a little extra heat try a sprinkle of dried chilli flakes for the last 15 mins of cooking. Also delicious served with grated cheese on top...

  This is a great dish. I added 2 portions of Salmon, flaked into it towards the end of cooking - wonderful. Freezes really well. Well worth it. Will do again.

  It was suprisingly delicous. I added some pine nuts, sun dried tomatoes and some olives at the end and it was delicous. I will definitely make it again!

  Really yummy however with the chillis, my 3 young boys found it a bit too hot so I've made a version with no chillis and it's just as tasty.

  I added corgettes (over load from the allotment) aubergine and rosemary in the first roasting. Then I added capers and balsamic vinegar rather than sugar. Absolutely delishous! Husband loved it. Made real change from chucking all the above in a pan and boiling it! I roasted the veg for a lot longer tho.
