    Very nice. Also have no Airfryer, so roasted the aubergine in a pan.

    Flavours were nice but mine turned out quite dry and I even added water throughout

    Gigi you never disappoint! Used two tins of beans (so 480g) so a bit less than recommended and this worked just fine. Couldn't get basil so topped with some pesto. Will make again.

    I added a small amount of grated garlic and reduced the butterbeans by 50% - Used the full amount mentioned and it was way too many for the sauce so removed some.

    Great recipe. I don't have an air fryer so just used a frying pan. Tinned chopped tomatoes and canalini beans work well. Served with low fat sausages for extra protein!!

    Absolutely lush! Followed the recipe and used a jar Bold Bean Co beans - trust the process

    This was really lovely - so flavourful. I did question the bean quantity though - when I upped the recipe to serve 4, the recipe calls for 1kg of drained butterbeans - 1kg of drained butterbeans was a vast amount, to the point where I only put about 600g in but even then it threw the ratios off so much, I had to fish some of them back out as it was just 99.9% beans.

    Yes, the amount of beans in this doesn't seem right.
