Serving Suggestions

Note

• This mac and cheese is easy – but don’t turn the heat up too high and burn it.
• The milk gives this a creamy starchy sauce and you can use your favourite cheese for this recipe.
• For an extra boost of flavour I add two teaspoons of chicken-style stock powder to this recipe. It gives it a lovely depth of flavour. You could also use Vegeta.
• You can add any number of things to this recipe for the last 5 minutes of cooking – cooked bacon pieces, frozen peas or even blanched broccoli.
