Maggie’s Tips:
 

• Play around with ingredients. Add avocado, asparagus spears, green beans, radish, boiled egg, diced cooked bacon or ham, cooked Puy or Beluga lentils, chickpeas or beans for variety and flavour.
• If you do not have all the herbs don’t worry. Just up whichever you have slightly - the sauce will still be really tasty.
