Tia's tip
​
If you want to hide vegetables you can add some cauliflower to the macaroni pan when it's cooking.
What do we do?
-
Cook the macaroni as per the packet instructions.
-
Grate the cheese and put to one side.
-
Turn the hob onto a medium heat.
-
Place your saucepan on the hob.
-
Add the butter to the saucepan and let it melt.
-
Once melted add the flour and stir – It will turn into a paste (Posh chefs call this a roux).
-
Stir the paste a little then slowly add some milk.
-
Each time you add milk you need to stir it a lot to get it mixed with the paste.
-
Keep adding the milk until you have a nice smooth sauce.
-
Add the grated cheese and stir until melted. Add a little salt and pepper if you like it.
-
Stir the sauce into the pasta. You can eat it like this if you want.
-
If you want your dish to look like the picture put it into an oven proof dish add some cheese on top and pop it under the grill until brown.
Eat and enjoy!
