No messing about, this is serious.
No healthy eating blah blah, sometimes you just need a cheesey carby bowl of love.
This morning I took Edward to the dockyard and he clambered aboard and sailed off for an alarmingly long time (think months not days gaaahh), and I shuffled off home and had a teeny tiny meltdown. So then I was extremely busy all day to keep distracted and then by the time it got to supper, I realised I was in desperate need of macaroni cheese.
This is officially the best recipe ever. There is no point in comfort food that is complicated to make. Here is an easy, one-pan, limited ingredients recipe for total cheesey glory.
Serves one:
2 or 3 rashers of bacon
400ml pasta (ish)
550ml milk
salt and pepper
Cheese, grated
Chop the bacon into small pieces with a pair of kitchen scissors and fry in a splash of oil until crisp.
Remove and place in the serving bowl. Add the pasta, milk and salt and pepper to the pan and cook for about 15 mins until the pasta is done. Stir regularly and add a splash of milk if it looks a bit dry at any point.
When the pasta is cooked, remove the pan from the heat and stir in your cheese.
Strong cheese is best, I used a 1inch x 1inch x 2inch lump of very mature cheddar. Stir in the bacon, add freshly ground pepper, pour into a big bowl, grab one fork and wallow in the unadulterated glory.
And then put up with the stomach ache for eating dairy! Who cares? hit the lactase tablets and indulge. Am making spinach gnocchi tomorrow, so will follow same sort of technique, yum,
