I have made this every year for Thanksgiving AND Christmas, (sometimes just because) and all I ever end up with is one bowl I had to save for myself so... THANKS! Oh, and I add smoked gouda. A lil pricey but worth it!

Made it for Christmas and it was a little dry, not nearly as creamy as the photo.

Our Tasty Mac & Cheese Recipe

macaroni (or any short pasta)

2tbsp butter

garlic, crushed

1tsp mustard powder

flour

milk

cheddar cheese, grated

Parmigiano Reggiano, grated

Salt and black pepper,

bread, buttered

butter

Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan oven) and place your buttered slices of bread on a baking tray. Bake for five minutes, or until crispy, then remove from the oven and set aside. Leave the oven on. 

Cook your macaroni in a large pan of boiling water. Remove from the heat and drain two minutes ahead of the cooking time advised on the packet. 

Melt the butter in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Add the garlic and mustard powder, allow the garlic to sauté for a minute, but be careful not to burn it. Then add the plain flour and stir everything together, cooking for a further minute.

Gradually pour in the milk and whisk the contents of the pan thoroughly to ensure there are no lumps. Simmer the sauce for 5 minutes, whisking constantly until the mixture thickens. Add a small pinch of salt and a little black pepper at this stage.

Remove the sauce from the heat and add the cheddar and Parmigiano Reggiano, stir through until thoroughly combined.

Add your macaroni to the sauce, making sure every piece of pasta is completely coated in the cheesy mixture.

Pour your mac & cheese mix into an oven dish or deep roasting tin.

Crumble the crispy bread slices into breadcrumbs, mixing with a little salt and pepper to season, and sprinkle on top of your mac & cheese. Top with some extra grated parmesan and bake in the oven for about 20 minutes, until the topping is golden brown.
