• 1/2 a tine of passata or 3/4 tin of chopped tomatoes
• 100g of goats cheese or feta
• 1 tbls olive oil

Method

2. in the same pan saute the onion for 3-4 mins over a medium heat
3. add the courgette and cook for a another 3 -4 mins

    Not vegetarian! Any suggestions what I can use in place of pancetta for flavour?

    Hi salbee
    I you eat fish you could add anchovy otherwise I would look at adding some smoked paprika or dried chilly seeds.

    Hope this helps 🙂

    Sorry everyone. I have made a few little mistakes on this but do not have the option to edit.

    Mistake no 1 – the calories 494 is for both servings in total. just half it and you will not go far wrong.
    mistake no 2 – this is not suitable for veggies…. I always forget the panchetta.

    Delicious. I used 2 large Portobello mushroom caps, roughly chopped instead of the brown mushrooms in the recipe, 3 garlic cloves rather than 2, and I halved the goats cheese lengthways, chopped each half, and put one half in the mix itself, and placed the other half on the top, then put the whole thing in the oven together, rather than adding the cheese 10 minutes before the end.

    We both really enjoyed this dish, and this is now going to be a regular part of our way of eating. Next time I make it I’ll take a picture if you like.

    Thank you very much for this great dish!
