    Can substitute pancetta for bacon, ground beef for ground pork, chicken stock for beef stock, juices from canned tomatoes for dry white wine, and half and half cream or milk for cream.

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Always great! A staple, we make at least every other week! Added extra salt and that was a kick! Served with protein noodles so a little healthier
