step 1
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large casserole dish over a medium heat. Add the white onion (1), M&S celery sticks (3), M&S Remarksable Value carrots (3) and M&S Remarksable Value red peppers (2) and a sprinkle of salt. Sauté for 15 minutes, stirring now and again, until softened. Add the M&S Remarksable Value garlic (3 cloves) and cook for a further 2-3 minutes, then add the M&S everything tomato, garlic and herb paste (3 tbsp) and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
step 2
Add the M&S Italian plum tomatoes (2 tins), filling each tin with water and adding this to the pan too. Add the frozen spinach (4 pieces), M&S frozen British cauliflower florets (5) and vegetable stock cube (1). Season with salt and pepper. Bring to the boil, then turn down to a simmer and cook for 45 minutes.
step 3
Blitz in a food processor until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, just break up the cauliflower with the back of a wooden spoon. Remove half the sauce, and pop in the freezer for other recipes (it’s a great base for chilli con carne, spaghetti Bolognese, lasagne and more).
step 4
Heat the M&S garlic baguette (1) according to the pack instructions. Allow to cool a little then blitz in a food processor to form breadcrumbs. Pan-fry in a splash of olive oil over a medium heat until golden
step 5
Cook the M&S alphabet pasta (400 g) according to the pack instructions. Toss in the vegetable sauce. Serve with the garlicky breadcrumbs on top.
