Steps

1 hr 30min

1

Boil water with oil and salt. Cook the pasta to al dente. Strain.
2

Prepare the cheese sauce. Melt butter, add flour to create a roux. Reduce the heat and gradually add milk until the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper and gradually cook the sauce. Once the sauce is bubbling add the mustard and the cheese.
3

Add the sauce to the pasta and pour into a baking dish.
4

Create the chorizo crumb. Slice the chorizo into small cubes. Fry the chorizo in olive oil until crispy. Take off the heat and add the honey and thyme. Crumb the bread in a food processor. Add to the chorizo whilst it’s hot. The oil will be absorbed by the crumbs. Let the crumbs cool down.
5

Pour the grated cheese over the pasta.
6

Sprinkle the crumb mixture over the cheese. Bake the pasta for 15 minutes until the cheese has melted and the crumb becomes crispy.
