Mac n’ cheese is a classic.
Ingredients:
- 1 jar of white sauce
- 500g macaroni pasta
- 270ml double cream
- 50g mature cheese
Seasoning: salt, pepper, mustard, and herbs (tarragon is yummy)
Method:
- Cook the macaroni pasta as per the instructions on the packet in boiling salted water
- Preheat the oven to 180°C
- Once ready, rinse the pasta in cold water to “refresh”
- Add the white sauce and cream to the pasta in a pan
- Mix all the ingredients together including half of the cheese
- Taste and add herbs of your choice to season
- Add a teaspoon of mustard if you have it
- Place in an oven-proof dish and sprinkle with the remaining cheese
- Oven bake in a preheated oven until golden and bubbling hot (around 15-20 mins)
Serving suggestion:
- The difference in mustards: English (hot), French (milder), or whole grain (bursts of mustard).
- Mac n' cheese can be eaten as a main dish or a side to other meals. Feel free to adjust to your taste with added onions and garlic.
- Sprinkle with breadcrumbs when you add the cheese for an added crunch!
