  Think it means 1 litre Ellen; all the other quantities are in metric....it does sound rather a lot though.

  I made this (it was OK, but not show-stopping). One litre of milk is correct - it's meant to make a large quantity so that you can freeze it.

  I have cooked this and yes 1 litre is correct I wasnt sure so did a pint and a quarter.Not smothered in sauce but still nice.Next time I will use a litre.I added smoked streaky bacon cooked under the grill till crispy as my son doesn't do veggie. I also used mature cheddar and gorgonzola, plus 2-3 tsp of ready made mustard.These quanties did 4 adults with good appetites. Oh I did do some cauliflower as well as the brocoli,we will be having this again. Lovely

  I halved the recipe as it was only for 3 of us. I made it the day before and the sauce was lovely - tasted great and a good consistency. However, the next day it had sort of set in the baking dish. I thought by sprinkling with cheese and reheating in a hot oven would sort it out but unfortunately it didn't. Turned out a stodgy lump, so I would recommend it but eat it straight away.

  Made this with measurements as per the recipe and the whole lot was devoured! It served 2 adults and 3 children very easily with big portions, and even the kids (including one vegetable-phobic 6 year old) cleared their plates. The measurement is correct - 1 litre of milk. It seems an awful lot when you're making it but with 500g pasta it produces a lovely, silky smooth pasta sauce. I used mature cheddar and a bit of grated mozzarella on top as well (nice and stringy!) and as with most pasta bakes I topped with a handful of breadcrumbs for extra crunch. Would thoroughly recommend this recipe. Oh, I agree with the other comment, though - it's not much use if you refrigerate for the next day, it goes quite stodgy.

  Just made this as we had a veggie friend for tea tonight. Really good, will definately make this again. Glad I read the comments and did 1 ltr of milk also added a couple of tsp of dijon mustard and used the rest of a cauliflower that I had in the fridge. Could easily half the quantities and have as an accompaniment to meat.

  Halfed the recipe as I was cooking just for two people, with enough left to feed a third. Haven't been able to find mustard powder in local stores so I simply substituted it for a tablespoon of Dijon mustard - worked well in my personal opinion. Overall a delicious and filling meal.

  I kinda made it up as I went along with the quantities and made it in a dish to serve 4. I added some bacon sprinkled on the top over the pasta and broccoli before I poured the sauce over and sprinkled cheese on top. Served with garlic bread and my boyfriend who is not that keen on pasta thought it was great! Quick and easy and will make again!

  And also, as far as leftovers go, I splashed a bit of milk over the pasta and covered it in the oven for a bit, then uncovered it to crisp up the top and it was fine. Sauce was almost as good as previous day - it was helped by the milk which was almost all absorbed and when all stirred up just added to the sauce
