Ingredients

  • mixed leaf salad 200 g
  • olive oil 1 tbsp
  • breadcrumbs 200 g
  • unsalted butter 125 g
  • plain flour 3 tbsp
  • whole milk 800 ml
  • double cream 200 ml
  • nutmeg pinch
  • Dijon mustard 1 tbsp
  • mature cheddar 500 g (grated)
  • mozzarella cheese ball 300 g (torn)
  • Parmesan 200 g (grated)
  • macaroni pasta 400 g

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 1800°C/160°C fan/gas mark 5. Lightly oil or butter a baking dish. Coarsely grate the cheddar and Parmigiano Reggiano. Tear the mozzarella into small pieces.
  • Cook the macaroni pasta in boiling salted water until al dente.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce. Melt the butter in a large wide pot on a medium-low heat. Sprinkle in the flour and cook for a few minutes, until light golden brown.
  • Gradually pour in the whole milk and double cream, whisking constantly to incorporate and make a white sauce. Bring the sauce to the boil and simmer for 3 minutes until you have a thick sauce. Season with salt and black pepper and add the Dijon mustard and mix well. Remove from the heat. Add a pinch of nutmeg.
  • Sprinkle in the cheddar, mozzarella and 2/3 of the Parmigiano Reggiano. Whisk until the cheeses are melted.
  • Drain the macaroni and add to the pot with the cheese sauce and stir well to coat. Transfer the sauce to the baking dish.
  • Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the top with the remaining Parmigiano Reggiano. Bake in the oven until golden and bubbling, around 15-20 minutes.
  • Leave to cool for 5 minutes before serving with the mixed leaf salad. Buon Appetito!
