Five Cheese Baked Macaroni And Cheese
Servings: 4
Calories: 966kcal
Ingredients
- 400 g Macaroni Pasta
- 2 Bacon Rashers diced
- 1 Large Onion peeled and diced
- 100 g Plain Flour
- 100 g Butter
- 250 ml Whole Milk
- 50 g Cheddar Cheese
- 50 g Soft Cheese
- 50 g Feta Cheese
- 50 g Mozzarella Cheese
- 50 g Goats Cheese
- 1 Tsp Garlic Puree
- 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 Tsp Oregano
- 1 Tsp Thyme
- 1 Tsp Basil
- Salt & Pepper
Instructions
- Sautee the onion in a pan with the olive oil and garlic for a couple of minutes or until the onion has gone soft. Add the bacon and carry on sautéing for a further couple of minutes. While it is cooking grate all your cheese (apart from the soft cheese).
- Put your pasta in a small saucepan and fill with water (so it’s just above the pasta) and place on a medium heat for about 12 minutes or until tender. You can hurry this process along by place a lid on the pan and then it will boil quicker.
- Make your cheese sauce – Add the butter and once it has melted on a medium heat with the rest of your ingredients, mix in the flour. Add your milk bit by bit until it makes a nice creamy sauce. Because you’re cooking pasta it makes the cheese sauce really thick so add some water or white wine to your sauce to water it down a bit.
- Add the soft cheese, goats cheese and the cheddar and mix well until you have a delicious cheese sauce.
- In an oven dish place your drained cooked pasta, cover it with cheese sauce and mix well so that the pasta is drowning in cheese sauce. Then cover the top with feta and the mozzarella cheese.
- Place the macaroni cheese in the oven on a 180c heat for 20 minutes.
- Serve with salad.
Notes
I find that making a roux for your cheese sauce can be made without any measuring devices. Simply use equal amounts of butter and plain flour and then add a little milk at a time until you have a lovely creamy sauce.
