I found this too sweet for my taste, but it looked good on the plate, especially with the pancetta which I added for the non-vegetarians in the family. I don't think however that I will make it again but will use the goat's cheese with other recipes.

Actually, it was delicious! I did it with parmesan instead of the goat's. And the pine nuts got toasted in with the rest of the veggies. Slightly less pasta and it was just right for two.

This sounds nice, but I haven't made it yet. I have the printed version, and am irritated (as I often am!) by the requirement to add more cheese (grated) at the end which has not been included in the ingredients list. So then I come online to winge about that, and I see that the recipe here has omitted the amount of cheese (diced) required for the cooking part! So if you're following this one online, the amount of cheese (diced) is 50g. Clearly, you add whatever amount you want (grated) on top! I'm still going to make it because it sounds nice. More comments later!
