I looked in two different branches but it was the same in each, so obviously not a mistake. As I do not have a Sainsbury any where near I am actually living at present, in the end I gave in and bought a pack for the freezer and reasoned that it was still a cheap meal at 75p a head. Will try this with fish paste though, as love pasta.AlisonB43https://www.blogger.com/profile/08351165562595634549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-24070485510759710302013-07-24T22:39:06.286+01:002013-07-24T22:39:06.286+01:00Another Jack reader here (she got a mention on ton...Another Jack reader here (she got a mention on tonight's Superscrimpers!) but I have to confess this recipe did not appeal to me at all when I first saw it.
