Rowan wanted a sauce to put over the top, so while that was baking she took a regular sized can of whole tomatoes, crushed them up by hand into the dirty veg skillet, added some sugar, fresh herbs, salt, pepper and 2 teaspoons tomato paste. She let that simmer until the casserole was ready and then we rocked it out.
