  My 2 and 1/2 year old took seconds, he normally leaves the vegetables and only eats the pasta and cheese, but this he loved! It doesn't need adding sauces or spices. As long you as you don't use much sauce or spices with every meal, you won't get 'addicted' to it and taste the lovely peppery taste of the lentils and the herbs used!!

  It is a little too 'lentil-y', but with some cheese on top it makes an alternative veggie pasta dish option. Would definitely choose this over any veggie mince substitutes.

  Really like this! It fills you up but still feels healthy and is so straightforward to make! Plus I find it freezes well so all the extra portions become a really easy solution for nights when you're pressed for time. Although I agree it benefits from extra herbs and Worcestershire sauce. My other half, whom I'm trying to persuade to eat more vegetarian things, really enjoyed it too!

  I followed this recipe almost to the letter. The only difference was to use dried mixed herbs and a tsp of ground cinnamon. Even before seasoning, it tasted great! If lentils go too mushy, don't cook them for the full time, check after 30 mins and cook longer if still a bit of bite.

  I didn't have a pan big enough for this recipe. Could easily serve six twice over.

  Great recipe, super healthy and tastes comforting on a cold night. Not too much washing up as it's a one pot meal and freezes well.

  Really tasty and filling, but could have done with more spice and garlic I think.

  Loved this dish and so easy to make! I used double concentrate puree and tinned plum tomatoes rather than the standard as I love a really tomato flavoured dish. Very filling and tasty .. And makes enough to feed a small army so will be freezing some!

  I love this recipe. For a low-cal dinner that feels decidedly naughty, I use lavash bread, smear it with low-fat natural yoghurt, then a little cheese (parmesan isn't too bad) rocket and then the ragu. I then attempt to fold it into a sort of burrito effort which usually collapses but it tastes delicious and definitely like it should be worse for you than it is!

  This really needs some extra stuff in there to make it work, kinda bland biege without it. I also agree that the portion sizes are way off, I made half of it and it did four people with some left over. Defo needs more stock, it took a whole litre for half the ingredients eventually.

  Loved it! Added a bit of chilli sauce and served with grated cheddar. Our one year old loves it and it goes a very long way!

  It's a little bit bland but a sizeable splash of worcester sauce and a sprinkling of caster sugar sorted it out.

  Loved this recipe! I did add some harissa for extra spiciness and used wholewheat pasta. And loads of parmesan!

  Lovely... I added the extra bits like the balsamic vinegar, worcestershire, touch of chilli, salt and a little sugar. Also didn't over cook dish when the lentils were just tender stopped cooking; vegies were cooked but still firm. Will cook again definitely
