Mac n Cheese - Recipe


Ingredients

  • 400g macaroni pasta
  • 180ml single cream
  • 100g half fat crème fraîche
  • 1tsp English mustard
  • 200g half fat medium cheese, grated
  • 4 slices cooked ham, cut in 1cm cubes
  • 1tsp olive oil
  • 1 pinch black pepper
  • 1 pinch salt

Method to the madness 


Fill a large saucepan with water. Add a splash of olive oil and bring to the boil. Add the dried macaroni and cook as per packet instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.


In a separate pan, add the single cream, English mustard and crème fraîche and slowly melt over a low heat. 

Add most of the grated cheese to the cream mixture, reserving some for later, and stir until all the cheese is fully incorporated. Add the chopped ham to the cream mixture and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. 


Mix the cooked hot macaroni pasta with the cream and ham mixture and place in an ovenproof dish. Sprinkle some more grated cheese on top and place under a hot grill for 4–6 minutes until a golden crisp surface forms. 


Gobble it all up as quick as you can.
