You can use any small pasta shapes instead of macaroni. Sauté 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.

Ingredients

300g short-cut macaroni
25g butter
25g plain flour
1 tsp English mustard powder
600ml milk
175g grated mature cheddar, or more to taste
salt and freshly ground black pepper
grilled tomato halves or tomato salad, to serve

Cook the pasta according to pack instructions. Drain thoroughly.
Meanwhile, make the sauce. Melt the butter in a pan and stir in the flour and mustard. Cook, stirring, for 30 seconds, then slowly add the milk to give a thin smooth sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, then stir in the cheese until melted.
Mix in the pasta and either serve straight away or transfer to a heatproof dish and top with extra grated cheese. Bubble under the grill, then serve with grilled tomato halves or a tomato salad.
