Macaroni Cheese

You can use any small pasta shapes instead of macaroni. Sautéed mushrooms, cooked leeks and walnuts, or cooked broccoli or spinach with chopped red pepper all make good additions. You can add chopped cooked chicken and bacon.

Dish Details:clock

pasta300g short-cut macaroni
25g butter
25g plain flour
1 tsp English mustard powder
600ml milk
