Jamie Oliver's Macaroni Cheese

This is the best ever macaroni cheese, there are a few more ingredients than usual but you don't have to make a white sauce so things equal out on the time and effort front. The end result is a really tasty, creamy inside and a lovely crisp cheesy topping. The anchovies give a salty depth to the flavour to the sauce, there's no fishy taste, and if you want a vegetarian dish just leave them out. The recipe includes mozzarella cheese under the breadcrumbs, but I didn't have any, if you want to add it in the amount is 400g.

Steps

45 mins
  1. 1

    Put the macaroni on to cook in a large pan of salted boiling water. Preheat the oven to 200C/Gas 6.

  2. 2

    Cut the tomatoes in half and place in the food processor together with the garlic, basil, sun-dried tomatoes and anchovies. Pulse until roughly chopped. You can do this by hand if you don't have a food processor.

  3. 3

    Add half the grated Parmesan, the cream, wine vinegar, nutmeg and thyme to the tomato mixture, and whizz again to combine into a loose sauce.

  4. 4

    By this time the macaroni will be cooked, drain briefly, retaining some of the water with the pasta, and also draining some into a small bowl. Add the sauce to the pasta and stir in. Taste, and add salt and pepper as needed. You need a really thin sauce, if it's a little thick and claggy add some of the drained cooking liquid, this stops the macaroni cheese becoming solid when baked.

  5. 5

    Transfer the pasta and sauce to a deep baking dish, I used two small ones. If you're using mozzarella, break into pieces and dot over the top of the macaroni. Mix the breadcrumbs with the rest of the Parmesan and sprinkle this on top. Drizzle with olive oil. I also sprinkled over some smoked paprika.

  6. 6

    Bake in the oven for around 20-25 minutes until bubbling underneath and really golden on top. Serve with salad, or some greens. Lovely.

I enjoy cooking mostly because I like eating, but also because it's a great way to relax at the end of the day. I work in book publishing and especially enjoy creating cookbooks written by cooks who love cooking and sharing food rather than creating show stopping dishes that take days to put together. As Nigel Slater would say; 'we are, after all, simply making ourselves something to eat'. I live with my lovely daughter Isobel who rarely pays any kind of compliment but will occasionally admit something I've cooked was quite nice, and our dog Piper, who will eat anything.
