Ingredients:

  • 500 g macaroni
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1 tbsp flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup grated cheese
  • 1 -2 cup fresh breadcrumb (reserve the ends of bread if your family doesn'tsp eat them, or keep stale bits ready to whizz in the)

Directions:

  1. Cook pasta; drain; set aside.
  2. Warm milk in saucepan. When it is just warm to the touch, whisk in half the flour. Let the milk begin to simmer, whisking all the time. You be the judge of the thickness - we like it really thick. If you want it thicker, add the remaining flour and continue to whisk until smooth and thick. Stir through the cheese and the salt and pepper until the cheese is melted. Take off the heat.
  3. Pour into a baking dish and sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the top. Bake for 30 minutes at 180 degrees Celcius.
