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.

Notes about this recipe

    Wanted to try this as it sounded similar to other versions of this dish I made but thought it might have a little more "pizzaz" based on the preparation technique (sautéing the vegetables with garlic vs. just throwing them all in the pasta pot to boil). It was ok but to be honest didn't really make much difference, flavorwise? Still a decent enough hearty winter pasta but nothing extra-ordinary.
