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.
