    I served this with a butternut squash lasagne and it was fabulous! All of it went! I think I got a loaf of bread that was slightly too thick and so I should have put more of the mixture into the bread, but it was fantastic anyway.

    So quick and easy - I forgot all about it while preparing the main dish but it didn't matter as I was able to whip this up in under 10 mins. I also threw the parmesan into the butter miz by mistake instead of saving it to sprinkle over at the end, but this worked just as well!

    Really tasty and a bit different. Was disappointed the first time that the kids liked it as much as we did so I didn't get much. But have now made it several times.
