  Very nice and easy to make. I didn't have the cream cheese so made my own from a mix of goat's cheese, creme fraiche, fresh garlic and fresh thyme.

  Having been given lots of wonderful courgettes by our Spanish neighbours I was looking for different things to do with them! Thought this recipe sounded nice but a bit bland so I added mushrooms, pepper, fresh chilli and extra garlic - delicious and very quick and easy! Would give a 5 star rating with the added bits.

  a bit bland, next time will fry some fresh garlic before the courgettes to give it a little taste, and will also add some fresh mushroom and sweetcorn.. will see how it will get with the adds.

  Not nice, even with add ins. I was going to have a friend round for dinner tonight and do this, lucky she couldn't make it!

  I'd been given some home grown courgettes and didn't know what to do with them so looked on here for inspiration. I added bacon and mushrooms to this recipe and used light soft cheese without the garlic and thought it was really tasty. The lemon gives it a nice flavour too!
