  Very tasty and easy recipe. Vegetables were tender but with full of juices. Mascarpone was really nice touch to finish with.

  Lovely recipe. Great way to use up veg in the fridge. The mascarpone gave this a brilliant flavour and great creamy texture. Was great as a lunch snack the next day as well. I added some red pesto to the couscous to give it a bit of extra flavour.

  this is surprisingly tasty! I thought it would be a bit bland but the chilly and mascarpone really make it a full bodied and tasty dish! Yum yum! Didn't miss meat at all - delicious!

  Absolutely loved this! Forgot to get chilli when I was shopping for ingredients but used sweet chilli sauce and left out the sugar - also mixed a bit of red pesto in with the couscous, so tasty!

  Creamy, tasty, filling, nutritious recipe. I used pearled spelt and added french beans instead of courgettes. Great recipe for using up mascarpone left over from a dinner party.

  Made this to use up leftover mascarpone and will definitely do this one again! I think my vegetables were cut too small as they took less than the time stated to cook. I also followed advice above and cooked the couscous in stock and then added red pesto. Probably wouldnt add chickpeas next time but I did think aubergines would be a good addition to the vegetables.

  Nice way to help use up a glut of courgettes. Didn't use mascarpone (need to be dairy free), but hubby cut cubes of feta cheese instead and loved it.

  Made this last night with yellow courgettes, red peppers and added some sliced onion to the roast. Really excellent flavours, went down a storm! In addition to chickpeas, I added pine nuts to the couscous with some saffron in the boiling water to give it a good colour.

  I used mixed peppers, romanescu cauliflower and sundried tomatoes. I also added extra chilli, cumin and tumeric powder to the cous-cous. A very nice dish and very easy to make. It could be made with so many variations meats, cheeses, pulses, herbs. Just to keep it fresh!!

  Nice but not terribly exciting if you just follow the recipe as given. However as a starting point for your own adaptation (depending on your tastes or perhaps just what ingredients you have) it works well.
