  Didn't have mustard so used Garam Masala, came out wonderful. Don't skimp on cheese for the topping, I ran out and I wished I hadn't!

  I also agree with previous comments that this recipe is too dry - it was tasty but next time I'll make more sauce

  This is excellent - it's a quick cheat's way of making macaroni cheese and I think it ends up tasting very similar to the proper white sauce version, but with half the effort. Will definitely be making it again.

  This is simple to make and quite comforting. Because I'm watching my weight I used slightly less pasta, half fat creme fraiche and Leerdammer Lightlife cheese. The cheese made the texture go a little stringy, so next time I will probably use something else like a half fat cheddar to see if it makes any difference. Taste-wise I really enjoyed it anyway.

  I used more seasoning and stronger cheese for this recipe. My daughter who hates macaroni cheese loved it ! takes no time to make and easy on the washing up.

  This was really lovely (even though i completely forgot to add the tomatoes). I used cheddar cheese and half fat creme fraiche to keep the calories even lower and in my opinion, it tastes just as good as the full fat variety. Next time i'm going to make it with broccoli instead of cauli as my husband also agrees it would work really well.

  I cooked this for me and my housemates, it went down a treat. I used the same amount of cheese, pasta and creme fresh, but I changed the method and seasoning a little. After cooking the macaroni I poured it out into a drainer and left it there a moment, meanwhile I put the creme fresh into the pasta pan and seasoned it to my taste, using salt, pepper, freshly grated nutmeg and a bit of mustard powder, I then put most of the cheese into the pan as well and let it all melt in on a low heat, I then mixed the pasta in and transferred it into the oven dish. I then sprinkled with the rest of the cheese and some breadcrumbs I had in the freezer and put it under the grill until bubbling - yummy! Served it with some peas. Really easy, really delicious - just what you want from a recipe.
