Description

What a classic – pasta coated in a creamy cheesy sauce. The ultimate comfort food – on your plate within about 20 minutes!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 250 ml milk
  • 2 tablespoons plain flour
  • 25 g butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 100 g mature cheddar, grated
  • A pinch of dried thyme
  • 200 g pasta (I like conchiglie)

Instructions

  1. Put the pasta in a pan of cold, lightly salted water and place over a high heat.
  2. Meanwhile, add the milk, flour and butter to a saucepan and put over a medium heat.
  3. Whisk to combine and then continue whisking until the sauce comes up to the boil – it will begin to thicken up.
  4. Let it simmer gently for another 2 minutes then add the cheese and stir constantly until melted. Add the paprika and thyme and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Drain the cooked pasta and mix with the sauce. Serve immediately.
