Made this today ... added a leek that I needed to use up, and some chives, topped the lot with mash and served with peas. Yum!

I added a chopped red pepper

I added a chopped red pepper and diced courgette, and served it with tagliatelle. It was absolutely gorgeous, and we’ll definitely make it again. I also think it would make a lovely pie or pasty filling.
