  Really delicious supper dish - I halved the recipe for just 2 of us and used Toulouse sausages as that's what Mr Waitrose delivered. I also had half a red chilli in it because I'd already got it chopped with onion from previous day. Gave it extra heat but I wouldn't necessarily put it in another time.

  Great recipe, i used Passata instead of tinned tomatoes as i had some to use up, also cooked the sausages whole and for a little longer than advised as people wanted different flavour sausaged in it. Had to top up with stock a couple of times so it didn't dry out, tasted great just remember to keep an eye on the liquid levels.

  I made this vegetarian by using a bag of Quorn balls from the freezer. It was quite tasty plus nice and filling. I probably used only 3/4 litre of (vegetarian) stock.

  Delicious and so easy. There were sparks coming off my young daughter's knife and fork! No issue with the liquid levels. Now in our favourites!

  Easy and delicious. I omitted the beans (as I had forgot to buy them) would make again. My 2 year old loved it. I too had no issue with the liquid levels.

  A very easy and tasty recipe. I added some dried sage to the sausagemeat to give it a bit more flavour, and omitted the celery (not too keen on it), and added a chopped leek instead. Will definately be making this again.

  This was tasty & hearty - but far too much liquid, rather soupy for what we wanted, but that doesn't make it a bad recipe!

  Made this & it was bland, the liquid was water like. Not a great recipe.

  Really enjoyed this. Made it exactly to the recipe apart from adding 200g of macaroni instead of the 175g stated. It did seem like a lot of liquid but this was absorbed by the pasta and it turned out perfectly. Did need a spoon to eat it, but delicious all the same. Definitely will be making again.

  Some of the meatballs fell apart, but it tasted delicious so will definitely be making this again, I added a little chilli to give it a bit of a kick.

  I tried this just after receiving the magazine and it's become another family favourite. I just used the sausages cut up instead of making meatballs which was easier and probably just as tasty. On the menu again for this week.

  Went down well with the whole family, I used passata which gave a lovely rich flavour and boiled the pot vigorously when I put the macaroni in and ended up with a lovely thick sauce , not watery at all.

  Yummy yummy yummy! Made this a couple of times, following the recipe exactly. Didn't bother halving the recipe for two as it tasted even better a couple of days later! Not too much liquid for us, but did simmer with the lid off.

  Have made this several times and it has always been delicious with lots of flavour. The liquid thickened up nicely so if it looks too runny I'd do as Lianne suggests and simmer with the lid off.

  Delicious...my kids loved this dinner. A fantastic mid week, quick but healthy meal. I added chilli powder whilst cooking the onion and garlic which gave it an extra little kick. Followed recipe exactly and got a lovely thick sauce.
