  Very easy to make, great for preparing in the day and just doing the oven part when ready to eat. My kids loved it as did my husband. Very light with the cheese as an alternative to using cheddar toppings. May try next time with feta too.

  This was really yummy and the whole family loved it - my husband asked me to make it again and he's not easy to please! It was really easy to make, but I didn't realise it took so long to cook so I had to cut it short as the kids were starving. I cut the simmering of the lamb sauce down to 15 mins and the oven cooking time to 25 mins and it was still perfect. There was loads left over to freeze too.

  Really enjoyed this. Cooked exactly to the recipe, although I may add a few mushrooms next time and possibly some carrots & celery just to up the 'hidden veg' content! I especially liked the ricotta topping. Easy to make; served 5-6 generously. I served with a salad rather than the garlic bread. Definitely making again.

  Made this for 2 of us to have twice over (so essentially to serve 4) kept to the recipe more or less although used just 300g macaroni. It was really really filling, couldn't imagine eating it with garlic bread as well. We are having left overs tonight. Will definately make again as it was an easy recipe to follow too, nothing technical at all.

  I think this may become a 'family favourite' as the first time I made it, it went down really well (clean plates) My 2 boys aged 10 and 7 have asked for it again. To make it gluten/wheat free I substituted the macaroni with gluten free penne pasta and used a gluten free Kallo organic stock cube. I also added some carrot/celery/pepper to the mince (what I had in the fridge at the time) and served with some broccoli.

  A great dish, typically Greek flavour. Loved by the whole family, might substitute the parmasan with mature cheddar next time as always have cheddar in. Will also double up main meat part of the recipe and freeze, making it quicker to put together mid week.
