  Wasn't sure about this at first, the butter, flour and milk started to look like a ball of dough! But when I added the cheese it all came together beautifully. Have passed recipe on to my boyfriend as an easy alternative to pasta, tuna & beans!

  I think its a great time saver to cook Broccoli florets with the pasta in the last few minutes of cooking BUT I find 3 minutes was more than enough. I also tweaked this recipe by frying ONE chopped onion.. ONE chopped Zuchinni (Courgette) & also 3 crushed Garlic cloves.. till transparent , then I added them in step 3 for a bit of variation It tasted SUPER GREAT so I did not bother putting it under the grill with the sauce INSTEAD of making a white sauce I JUST added 1 cup of pouring cream.. 1 cup chicken stock & 1/2 cup grated PARMESAN CHEESE I mixed it in to the pasta along with the other ingredientsI NO IT WAS NOT TOO MUCH LIQUID THIS IS SOOO EASY

  How quick is this..... just the recipe to cook after a busy day, perfect! I used runner beans from the garden instead of broccoli, added some chopped sauteed onions and it was a winner.Just the right portions for 2 hearty eaters.

  Oh forgot to add... instead of "faffing" around with the flour, butter, milk thing, put it all into a small pan and continue to stir, whisking at the end, the sauce turns out the same.

  I fry 4 slices of bacon, chopped, before I cooked the sauce and it is a big hit in this household.

  Just made this for my veggie housemate and it went down very well indeed! I added a little chopped parsley to make the sauce a bit more interesting.

  Lovely pasta bake. I doubled the cheese sauce, added some carrots, sweetcorn, tabasco sauce and a little chilli powder. There is much scope for variation on the vegetables.

  Very Delicious although i would use way less lemon. The lemon almost over powers the whole dish also i added salmon to the dish and it was fabulous

  Great recipe, but I found it required a lot of seasoning as the sauce seemed a little tasteless. Great standby to have in the freezer.
