    I added dill and parsley which really gave the source a great flavour. After this maybe becoming a veggie aint so bad :-)

    This is a top veggie recipe and a great way to use up a glut of courgettes. I used a mix of cheddar and parmesan instead of gruyere (although I was slightly more generous than the recipe) and it still works brilliantly. It's much more filling than it sounds, making a perfect central dish served with a green salad.

    I found this really bland and a bit watery, it would be better I think if the courgettes and tomatoes were oven roasted first and then layered and baked, it has potential though.

    I liked the flavours in this dish but I made it in a dish that was too big so there wasn't much overlapping of the sliced vegetables. I think it would have worked better in a smaller dish as suggested in the recipe.

    I used this as a really basic starting block; I added Leeks and Spinach and used more Garlic and Basil than suggested. It all went in the oven together (minus Spinach, which I added right at the end) and I added Passata, stock and sugar and basically let it all cook down together. Grated Parmesan, black pepper and spinach right at the end meant it turned out beautifully. Worked wonders for using up all my old veg, and I didn't have to wash up a saucepan! PS Partner added extra mature Cheddar on his, for that really gooey cheesey result.

    Have made this twice now. First time with pork chops and second time with pork chops and mashed butternut squash. Its a really easy and very tasty recipie. Used Cheddar and Gouda instead of Gruyere and dried basil (1tsp) instead of fresh as the shop hadnt got either. My boyfirend loved it that much he gave it a 10/10. There will be a bit of oily liquid from the tomatoes and the cheese but if you leave it to rest in the oven for 10-20 mins with the oven turned off it will set a bit (although the juices make an excellent sauce!). Will make it again and again and have just had leftovers for lunch at work today. I highly recomend it!!

    I just adore this recipe. Have made this a couple of times now and it will definitely become a weekly dish. So easy to do and cheap and very filling. I add layers of mushrooms to it and also use up any cheese I have in the house. First time Red Leicester and then Mature Chedder. I added a onion to the sauce plus some red wine and a few dollops of tomato puree to help thicken it. Served it with Sausages, Couscous and warmed Pitta Bread. Gorgeous.

    Very tasty and very easy. Was just looking for a recipe to use up some courgettes and this did the job perfectly. Once we had added bread to mop up the sauce it made a substantial meal. Will definitely try again and experiment with different cheeses.

    Very nice summer dish, added some red wine & sugar to the sauce. May try char-grilling the courgettes first next time though

    Hi, I just have to comment on this dish because i loved it so much! I added finely sliced red onion and a few thinely sliced mushrooms. Also Lidl didn't have gruyere so i just used a bit of mature cheddar and it was so scrummy. Had it with big salad and a few fries, boyfriend loved it too!
