Got this recipe from my friend, Jo and I thought it would be a great dish for lunch. Instead of just merely macaroni cheese, I added the fillings from my Chicken Pie recipe below the macaroni cheese, thus making it a more balance dish. The result was amazing and my kids love it so much and kept asking for more servings. Though it has quite a number of steps in preparation but definitely worth the time and effort.Ingredients
- 300g macaroni
- 650ml fresh milk
- 500ml water
- 1/2 tbsp salt
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tsp plain flour
- 150g mozzarella, shredded
- 200g cheddar, shredded
Directions
1. Pour fresh milk, salt and water into a large pot. Bring it to a simmer. Add the macaroni and cooked until almost through. It should be a little firm. Be sure to keep the heat low and to watch the pot as this cooks. Milk and water tend to boil over quickly.
2. Remove macaroni using a slotted spoon and reserve liquid.
3.Preheat oven to 200 deg C.
4. In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add flour and stir until combined. Slowly add the reserved liquid, stirring until the sauce begins to simmer and thicken a little.
5. Set aside a handful of the shredded cheese and add the rest to sauce, stirring slowly until all the cheeses have melted. Add the macaroni and stir. Cook for a minute and remove from the heat.
6. Transfer to an ovenproof dish. Cover with reserved shredded cheese.
7. Bake for 40 mins until bubbly and golden. Serve immediately.
