  Yum! Easy to prepare, full of flavour and my dinner guests (including children) absolutely loved it. One guest even asked for the recipe! Definitely a favourite and one that will become a regular on the dinner table.

  This recipe was fantastic, easy to cook even for a simpleton like myself who is as destructive in the kitchen as the Atmoic bomb was in world war 2. I am a total meat eater at heart but now have to entertain a vegetarian partner to loved this dish. Pure Genius!!!

  An excellent lasagne cooked for a dinner party. Although quite rich, everyone loved it. Made it in advance and reheated it - it was fine. Next time I'd probably add more nutmeg to the sauce. Used dried basil as I didn't have the fresh - it was still delicious.

  Wow - what a gorgeous dish. Very easy to make and very tasty. I added more than a pinch of nutmeg and will season the sauce a little more next time. It is very rich and I think it needs something firm to counterbalance the very soft texture. Might try adding a layer of vegetables next time to add a little bite.I served it with roast potates and whole carrots which worked very well.

  Lovely flavours and looked fantastic when it came out of the oven. However, it was a little too runny when served up and just looked a mess on the plates. For this reason I probably wouldn't serve it at a dinner party.

  Really gorgeous - even my 2 year old loved it! Haven't made a white sauce in that way before, ie putting the butter, flour and milk in a pan all at the same time (usually make a roux) but it worked brilliantly! Will def make it this way again. Gorgeous dinner party meal - will def make again!

  This is a far more spectacular result in terms of taste and appearance than you think it's going to be. Fresh pesto gives the best possible result. Meat lovers won't even know that the meat is missing. Very rich, therefore smaller than normal portions are ample. Is one of my favourites...

  this was gorgeous, very runny, but delicious non the less. i cant remember the last time we ate spinach, but it went down a storn. i didnt have any parmasan so just used strong chedder on the top. this will definatly be a regular meal in our house now. yum!! oh but i gound that i didnt use as much spinach as it says in the recipe, but still was amazing. as mon-gella says it tastes so much better than you think and definatly worth the effort!!!

  Wow! Great dish! Much easier to 'construct' that you'd think. Looks impressive. Turned out well. A hit with all the family.

  Tasty and comforting! Didn't have enough spinach so added chopped courgette and broccoli which was lovely with the cheese. It was a bit too runny for my liking so will adjust the white sauce next time I make it.

  Delicious, have made this a few times now. Last time I added some cubed chicken breasts to satisfy the meat lovers. I saw the comments about it being too runny, I usually use less milk, to prevent that. But then you have to make the white sauce in the old fashioned way.

  I'm planning on making this but I'm struggling to find vegetarian parmesan. So any ideas of what I could use instead of parmesan and the vegetarian kind would be great. Thanks
