Best addition to Macaroni Cheese?

NBN's recipe...

Boil the pasta for thirteen minutes while you make the sauce. If you cannot get proper 2-3 inch macaroni, use rigatoni instead.

Heat the milk over a low heat and mix in cream, cream cheese and grated cheddar.

Add turmeric, white pepper, salt, garlic purée, nutmeg and smoked paprika.

Raise the heat slightly and add grated mozzarella and a little corn flour.

Mix together with the pasta and place in oven dish.

Top with cheddar, red leicester, breadcrumbs and cracked black pepper and stick in the oven on the top shelf for fifteen minutes on GM4.

That's a heart attack on a plate :eek:
 
I can't imagine a light macaroni cheese, not sure I'd like that. The heaviness is partly what makes it comfort food.

I make it sometimes with Penne. Its a nice change, lighter & the top crisps-up better as well, which is an important part of the dish IMO - Crunchy, cheesy crusts FTW ! :)
 
Weird that someone could have missed the stuff. It's massively popular - even every other corner shop around here has macaroni on display
:confused:

:confused: What? Really?

Marshalls.

hmm - i'm a bit confused by the fact that i've never eaten it either. i grew up in the 70s and 80s. my mum wasn't the yogurt weaving type. i've lived in three shared houses and with two boyfriends...

how the fuck did i manage to avoid this thing for 34 years???:confused:

(i had heard of it, btw - but i've also heard of tripe - i don't know anyone that actually eats it, though)
 
Open you eyes when you go shopping then.
:D

And you must have seen tripe on sale in Brixton, as surely as you do trotters.

I don't know how you missed it, if it's any consolation I don't believe my mum ever made it either. (My Dad's pasta aversion...)
 
i've seen trotters - but i think i pass over distressing things of an offally nature

Sorry about the derail but offal is insides and trotters is outsides so trotters isn't offal.

Strangely enough I have never cooked Macaroni cheese although I like pasta dishes. Anything with cooked cheese suits me. I think cooked cheese goes well with smoked bacon and a hint of Worcester Sauce.
 
i had a microwave macaroni cheese for lunch yesterday but as i was worried it would be bland i put some truffle oil and rocket leaves on top :D
 
Look for the things which look like grey bubbling showercaps. You must have seen tripe if ever you've walked through the market?
:confused:
