For the buttered breadcrumbs:
1 tbsp

butter
50 g

breadcrumbs
For the mac and cheese:
350 g

mini macaroni
2 tbsp

butter
2 tbsp

flour
450 ml

full-fat milk
150 g

freshly grated cheese of your choice
4 pinches

salt, depending on your choice of cheese

Method

For the buttered breadcrumbs, place the butter and breadcrumbs in a pan and cook over a medium heat for around 2 minutes. Remove from the pan and set to one side.

Meanwhile, bring a pan of well-salted water to the boil, cook the pasta for two minutes less than indicated on the packet instructions and strain.

Preheat the oven to 220°C (top/bottom heat).

Melt the butter in a saucepan, stir in the flour and cook for around 1 minute. While stirring, add the milk and, stirring continuously, bring to the boil. Allow to cook for around 2 minutes before folding in the cheese. Season with salt and the Garlic Pepper.

Fold the macaroni into the sauce, place in a casserole dish, cover with the buttered breadcrumbs and bake in the oven for about 15 minutes.

Tip: Our chef’s recommendation: “My favourite cheese for mac and cheese is a mixture of Cheddar, Comté or Gruyère, Edam and a mature Alpine cheese. For the best mac and cheese, grate the cheese by hand. Packets of pre-grated cheese often contain anticaking agents, which can prevent those delicious, gooey cheese strands from forming!”
