    this really is a lovely dish I made it twice, once with broccoli for my grandchildren they enjoyed it And the next time with spinach I prefer it with the broccoli.

    Just tried this recipe, and it was absolutely stunning. Even my meat loving partner found it amazing. I added a little less spinach and threw in half the amount of potatoes with half sweet potatoe. I also used a puff pastry lid. My family have requested it become a weekly meal. Thumbs up ^.^

    Easy to cook and really tasty. The sort of meal that even non-vegetarians can enjoy & will suit a wide range of occasions. The first time I made it I used watercress, which I'd picked up by mistake. It still worked well.

    Really quite enjoyable and tastes very good yet healthy! I skipped the green beans and put the just steamed broccoli inside the pie rather than serving it with it, which added a bit more crunch! Instead of creme fraiche I used low fat greek yoghurt. A good vegetarian home dinner but not great enough for a dinner party

    Both me and my boyfriend really enjoyed this. I added some cooked chicken to the mixture as were not veggies. I was really lovely. Well worth trying.

    Slight warning: I made spinach and cheddar (?) parcels, wrapped in filo. The filo is so thin, that my father-in-law cut his lip on the crispy bit while eating one... I'd recommend smacking it a bit before serving, to break it up a little..

    Have not tried the recipe yet but am not clear about why the last two ingredients are not mentioned on the cooking instructions - the green beans and broccoli. Only adding the spinach is mentioned. Can you please clarify. Thanks

    I like my mushrooms on the firm side but as they released so much moisture I had to extend cooking time to reduce it down. Next time I'll just pour some away! Nevertheless it's a lovely meal for vegetarians ( I'm not) and very easy to prepare. The guests loved it.

    The reason this is superhealthy is because it was nothing a monumental serving of veg! I think there were 2 pieces of potato in my (giant) portion! I have a 10l stock pot and it was over half full by the time I'd finished - I had no idea how I would have fitted it into a pie dish so I just served it like a stew. I also added about 200g of cream cheese instead of the creme fraiche and I'm so glad I did - not only did it mean there was an actual sauce (seriously, how can 2tbsp of creme fraiche make a sauce for that amount of veg?) but it also gave some body to it. Not one we'll be making again.

    Cooked this for veggie & meat eating friends and everyone enjoyed it. Replaced the filo with shortcrust and the creme fraiche with double cream (just to be naughty) I think chicken would be a welcome addition if you weren't catering for vegetarians. If anything, I would have liked a slightly thicker sauce, other than that there were empty plates and big smiles all around :)

    I used chestnut mushrooms and realized I don't like the taste of them would use button mushrooms next and I'm sure it'll be lovely . I also added chorizo as my husband isn't a Veggie . Lovely healthy family dinner will make it again !

    Easy to make and delicious. I used asparagus instead of beans and worked well

    Was a bit disappointed, found it fairly bland for my taste. The sauce could have done with being thicker and I wish I had gone by other comments and added broccoli too. If I made this again I would possibly also swap the filo pastry for something else. Not terrible by any means but one I won't be rushing to try again.
