  This was really nice when it had just been cooked but dried out a lot in the fridge and wasn't great reheated.

  Thanks for above advice. I added some bacon bits and fried the onion with it first and also put in oven for 20 mins - a really lovely creamy sauce (I just put in the whole tub - think it was 300g). Def make again.

  I´ve just finished eating this and it was beautiful!! I didn´t have any creme fraiche so I used cream cheese instead... of course it just added to the cheesy creaminess!!! Definitely recommended!!

  This was pretty nice, but the creme fraiche and stock sauce is a bit thin, and just lacked *something*. Next time I will use a little less of the pasta water (or the whole tub of creme fraiche!) and more Gruyere or a stronger cheese.

  The dish turned out exactly as described in then recipe. No gloopy sauce at the bottom of the dish. Next time I will use more veggies, herbs and cheese, because it was a bit too bland for my taste. My 5-year-old daughter loved it, though. In fact, she overate, which is rather rare. :-)

  Really yummy, although did feel like something was missing. Next time I'm going to use more broccoli and use Lancashire rather than Chedder.

  Read all of the comments first, then fiddled. Fried the onion with some left over bacon and mushrooms and used cauliflower as well as broccoli. (When eating it was pleased I did as felt all broccoli would have been too much). Cut down the amount of pasta to 300g and added more creme fraiche (almost 300g). Was concerned at first that the sauce was too thin, but after baking in the oven for 25 mins it was perfect.The only other thing I would think about changing next time would be to add the mixed herbs to the sauce rather than the topping - wasn't quite sure about that bit!

  Further to the above comment, had leftovers the next day and tasted just as good. Left in original dish, covered with foil and baked slowly (about 170 degrees) for about 35 mins. Was concerned it looked really dry after night in fridge, but was absolutely fine.

  Less pasta, more broccoli, more cheese (I used Stilton) plus some chopped fried bacon for the non-veggies. I also baked rather than toasted for 15 mins at gas 6. Very good, lighter than you would expect.
