It’s also a great way of getting a big portion of veg into your family without them even noticing!” declares Tom Kerridge, whose new book, Tom Kerridge’s Fresh Start, aims to get people to fall back in love with cooking from scratch.“It’s all about the toppings: Crunchy seeds and breadcrumbs, sweet chunks of butternut squash, and nuggets of acidity from the sun-blushed tomatoes.”This dish can be frozen and eaten later in the week, too.Ingredients:
