Speedy Macaroni Cheese
Hands down the easiest macaroni cheese you'll ever make – you cook the pasta (and a bit of sneaky cauliflower) in milk then just stir in the cheese, so there's no white sauce or whisking required.
- Prep time:
- 10 mins
- Cook time:
- 20 mins
- Serves:
- 4
- 4 cups (1 litre) milk
- 1 tsp salt
- ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 cups dry macaroni
- ½ head cauliflower, cut into small florets
- 180g ham, diced
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
- 4 handfuls baby spinach leaves or other greens
- 3 cups grated tasty cheese
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
Heat milk, salt and pepper in a large pot. When it just comes to a boil add macaroni and cauliflower. Bring back just to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer gently for 2 minutes less than the packet instructions for the pasta.
Mix in ham, nutmeg, spinach and 2 cups of the cheese. Tip into a baking dish and top with remaining cheese and breadcrumbs. Place under a preheated grill and cook until golden (about 5 minutes). Serve at once.
