blog-img

Ingredients

    • 500ml skimmed milk
    • 25g cornflour
    • 220g macaroni
    • 100g extra mature cheddar, grated (check the label for vegetarian)
    • 25g Grana Padano or vegetarian altenative, grated
    • 8 blocks frozen spinach, defrosted
    • 220g ripe cherry tomatoes, halved

Directions

  • STEP 1

    Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mix 3 tbsp of the milk with the cornflour and warm the remaining milk in a pan. Meanwhile, bring a pan of water to the boil, tip in the macaroni and cook for 6 mins, stirring occasionally.

  • STEP 2

    To make the sauce, stir the cornflour mix into the warm milk and keep stirring over a low heat until thick and smooth. Remove from the heat and stir in most of the cheddar (leaving a little to sprinkle over at the end) along with the Grana Padano and pepper to taste.

  • STEP 3

    Drain the macaroni well, then stir into the sauce. Squeeze the excess moisture from the spinach by pressing it into a fine sieve. Divide the spinach between four individual ovenproof dishes, followed by the tomatoes. Spoon the macaroni cheese over the veg, then finish with a sprinkle of the remaining cheddar. Bake for 15-20 mins or until the sauce bubbles and browns on top.
