Steps

1

Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas 7.
2

Cook the pasta according to pack instructions, until al dente.
3

While the pasta cooks, make the cheese sauce: In a saucepan, melt the butter over a medium heat, then add the flour and stir continuously for around 2 mins, until it turns golden. Grab a whisk and add the milk gradually; keep whisking the whole time, until the sauce starts to thicken (about 3-5 mins). Remove from the heat and add the gruyère, 50g of the cheddar, the parmesan. Season to taste and set aside.
4

Once the pasta is ready, drain and transfer into a large ovenproof dish. Pour the cheese sauce over then add the tomatoes and the frankfurters, stir. Scatter the remaining 50g cheddar and bread crumbs on top.
5

Oven cook for 15 mins, until bubbling. Remove, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil.
