Great recipe, altered slightly to suit what was in the cupboard, red onion instead of brown, cheddar instead of emmental, and no maggi seasoning, still very tasty. We're going to try different cheeses to see what happens, as you may have guessed we've a glut of courgettes, still they are fresh.

You have to stir! There won't be lumps if you do that. Overall, I think this is a fairly authentic recipe for this dish and I'd recommend it – especially for people who like cheesy sauce Normally, you'd also find smoked bacon pieces in this, but if you are vegetarian that doesn't have to be added … And you can thicken out the cheesy sauce with rice or corn flour if you are gluten intolerant.

I tried this recipe and everything was going well until I added the cheese. Then the mixture just curdled. The sauce became very thin and runny and the cheese just formed cottage cheese like lumps. What went wrong??! The only ingredient I didn't use was Maggi seasoning as I can't get hold of it in my village. I can't see how seasoning would have made a difference though. Anyway, it still tasted nice even if it didn't look it!
