    I imagine this tastes pretty good but I'd never present this to friends - it just looks so unappealing!

    Did nothing for me I'm afraid........a bit bland, a bit watery, a bit unimaginative.

    I was inspired by this dish for last night's dinner (despite the negative review). I did tweak the recipe considerably but used the above ingredients as my base...well, almost. I did cheat a bit by using a packet of wild mushroom soup instead of veg stock & added water slowly until I got the desired consistency of the sauce. Also added spinach towards the end just to get more veg in. Forgot to put the thyme & tomato puree (both of which I imagine would make the dish taste even better). Added a splash of cream thinking it was on the recipe, and I used spaghetti instead of rigatoni as I already had an open pack. Finally, I served it with grated Gruyere & crushed black pepper. For my own personal taste, I added chilli flakes to my serving. With a bit of inspiration (& imagination), this quick-&-easy comfort food turned out much better than I expected. Hmm, maybe I'll serve it with chopped flat leaf parsley next time. And there will be a next time.

    Had my leftovers with chopped parsley and it was gooood!!! The system won't let me correct my previous 3-star rating. With the parsley, I give it 4.75 stars.

    A bit of a failure actually... very rich sauce, overly rich in my opinion and not much definable flavour. We added diced bacon to ours. Eatable, yes, but not a repeat.
