  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!

  i can see why people are saying bland. I added a clove of garlic, a fresh red chilli, a bay leaf then the courgettes, a few mushrooms.....and a nob of butter....plenty of cracked black pepper......a squeeze of lemon to the Boursin cheese.....and a little cream instead of milk.....VERY VERY tasty!

  I only had plain soft cheese, so I grated two cloves of garlic with the lemon zest and added them at the same time. With a good grinding of black pepper and a decent pinch of salt, it was very tasty and a recipe I'd cook again.

  Amazing!!! I added 3 TBLS of half-fat creme fraiche, coriander, salt, pepper and gratings of grana padano cheese! Delicious!
