    "Cooked this for my little boys' lunch and they are loving it. They are currently polishing off the last half of their second serving. Had to use what I had on hand & made substitutions: used a dollop of soured cream in place of mascarpone, used approx. 2 tbsp. grated medium cheddar in place of parmesan, drizzled a tbsp EV olive oil, & just did a couple squeezes of the lemon. I imagine some lemon zest would've given the dish a bit more zing. I, too, enjoyed this as it was light yet tasty."

    Rigatoni with mushroom & red wine ragu

    Tested

    "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."

    Rigatoni with mushroom & red wine ragu

    Tested

    "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."

    Mini pistachio & chocolate macaroons

    Tested

    "My batter turned out too thick to pipe! I inadvertently 'aged' my egg whites for 48h (long story) so maybe they lost a bit of moisture. I also used 140g of ground almonds instead of pistachios. As I didn't want to waste what I had already mixed, I made drop cookies instead. Although the cookies were too sweet for me (and they would've certainly been OTT sweet with the filling), they went well with my morning cup of coffee. As drop cookies, a 3-star rating from me. Maybe other readers will have better luck with the recipe. "
