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.

    Lovely!

    Absolutely delicious. I found no need to reduce the amount of liquid specified in the recipe. It reduced down beautifully after I’d simmered it.

    This was very nice but given how $$$ porcini are, it didn’t knock my socks off. I didn’t have the watery sauce issue, though I admit I simmered til I thought it looked right rather than watching the time.

    Stunning! I added all of the porcini water and less pasta water than what was called for due to the previous comments. Definitely would be a lot for two people. Anyway it’s yummilicious!

    Let me agree that the amount of cooking water called for here is way too much. The flavors were lovely but really got drowned out!

    Amazing recipe with great depth of flavour BUT adding 350g of the pasta cooking water would be far too much, just whatever clings to the noodles is fine. Easily serves 3 as a main.

    This wasn't bad. It's certainly easy and quick, but I was somewhat indifferent to it (whereas I was really impressed by the lengthier, more complex Ottolenghi traybake ragu). I'll probably give it another go, given it uses ingredients I usually have on hand - and perhaps ease up a little on the pepper, as I felt that overwhelmed my dish a bit. I made a third of the recipe for one main portion.
