  Left overs (if any) microwave very well. I added some just cooked chicken breast, cut into small pieces, which blended well with the dish.

  Not bad. Used chard instead of spinach so just had to cook it in the pasta water for a bit before putting it in. Danish Blue and Creme Fraiche make it a bit too tangy for my tastes. Next time I'd use Saint Agur or cheddar.

  Hi there, This was really yummy, instead of using creme fraiche, I made my own cheese sauce, the reason being is because it is not sold in my local supermarket. The ingredients for this was 40g butter, 40g flour, 1 pint milk, 2 tsp of cornflour and unlimted cheese, what ever suites your taste. This was enough for 2 large portions. Give it a bash !!!
