Ingredients
- 250 g macaroni
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp plain flour
- 450 g milk
- Black pepper to taste
- 1 tsp mustard powder
- 200 g cheese grated, I use cheddar but any strong cheese will do,
DISCLAIMER
I recommend using the Metric measurements (instead of cups & spoons) for more accuracy and better results.
Instructions
- Explaining how to cook pasta is difficult, I suggest you follow the directions on the packet as brands do vary quite a lot.
- Once cooked drain the macaroni well.
- In a saucepan add the butter and the flour, heat gently, stirring until you have a nice smooth paste, we call this a ‘Roux’ and is the basis of most sauces. Now add your black pepper (I like it quite peppery) and the mustard powder and continue cooking on a low heat for 1 minute.
- Next start adding the milk a little at a time mixing in well with a whisk in between additions. If you add the milk too quickly you will finish up with a lumpy sauce.
- Once all the milk is incorporated you can add the grated cheese and cook for anothe minute before adding it to the macaroni.
- Now it can be served right away if you wish, however, I prefer to sprinkle more cheese and a few fresh breadcrumbs over the top and bake in the oven at 180ºC for about 15 - 20 minutes or until the top is brown and bubbling.
