Loved this one. I used a tin of ham chopped up instead of wafer thin smoked ham and I didn't have any fresh basil so used some I had chopped and frozen - was absolutely delicious and really filling. Will definitely be making this one regularly.

Try not to burn your leeks like I did!! However, lovely dish, which I changed a little as I added salmon instead of ham and added some milk and cheddar cheese, which gave a creamier taste. You could even change some of veg to broccoli or add some peas.

Very tasty, easy mid week meal. would be very easy to substitute the ham for a similar kind of meat. I may try again using pancetta. Would recommend.

A family favourite, also tasty with poached salmon instead of the ham.

Great - really easy to do and very tasty. As a couple of people suggested, I halved the amount of cream cheese and replaced it with low fat crème fraîche.

I made this using a soft cheese with a hint of sweet chilli in it, Is now a firm favourite!

This doesn't look apetising in the slightest

Dinner on the table inside 15minutes, excellent. Think creme Fraiche would be just as good as Philly. Lots of seasoning required as others have said. Would a grind of nutmeg give this a lift?

Used cooked bacon instead of ham and found it very tasty. Chestnut mushrooms kept their firmness and worked really well with the leeks and bacon.

Great recipe. I followed the advice of adding creme fraiche and made the sauce for 4 although there were only two of us eating. I also reduced the leek volume and added plenty of seasoning. Delicious.

Very tasty, and very simple!

This is a very tasty recipe as long as it is well seasoned. I made it even healthier by using Philadelphia Lightest and low fat creme fraishe. I also swapped the mushrooms for petite pois as we're not the biggest fans of mushrooms in our household. Very nice!

very nice, used half cream half low fat Philly, added a stock cube as was suggested as worried about being bland, was nice but a bit salty so will leave the stock cube next time, will make again and adapt to what's in the fridge as really easy

Yes, this is creamy, but it's really bland. I used lemon sole (had some left over that needed using) and added peas for some colour, plus natural yoghurt and white wine for the sauce. As per the other feedback, I added lots of seasoning but it was still very tasteless. Needs something punchier to bring in some flavour.

Good quick mid-week meal

Used creme fraiche in place of the cheese, spinach instead of the basil and skipped the ham. Nice and light, but does need a ton of seasoning to stop it from being bland. Will try it with the original ingredients next time as I imagine the smoked ham and basil would really help there.

I didn't have fresh basil so used a small sprinkle of dried basil. Also added white wine, used a mixture of creme fraiche and the supermarket's own garlic and herb roule, and used bacon the 2nd time I made it although it was delicious with ham too. Tasted delicious but my version probably wasn't quite as low-fat!

I gave up eating creamy pasta's a long time ago because of the high fat content, so I couldn't wait to try this and it didn't disappoint. I thought it was delicious and so did the kids.

Very easy and really yummy!
