Recipe: Mac'n'cheese

I treated Lovely Anna to her first homecooked tea tonight, with ingredients from Green and Brown at Little Eaton.

INGREDIENTS
1 pack macaroni - or if you can't find any, do what I've just done and use kids' dinosaur pasta
1 pack cherry tomatoes
40g butter - I used parsley and garlic butter from Green and Brown
40g flour
200ml single cream
200ml whole milk
100g dolcelatte or other blue cheese
100g strong cheddar
Breadcrumbs
100g Parmesan

METHOD:
Put the pasta onto boil, and then in a saucepan make a roux by melting the butter, stirring in the flour and then adding the milk and cream. Keep stirring and heating the sauce, then add the grated dolcelatte and cheddar. Heat through until melted and thick.

When the pasta is cooked, drain it and mix with the cheese sauce and cherry tomatoes, chopped in half. Put mixture into a baking dish and top with the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan. Bake on 200C for about 30 minutes, or until golden on top.
