How To Make macaroni cheese - ireland style

Step 1

Cook the macaroni in a saucepan of boiling salted water as per pack instructions, strain and set aside. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas Mark 4.

Step 2

In a separate large saucepan, melt the butter over a medium heat and add the flour(3 to 4 tablespoons, depending on how thick you like your sauce) to form a roux, stir using a wooden spoon and allow to cook for 4 – 5 minutes. Add a little of the cream and milk at a time, stirring continuously until you achieve a thickened, smooth sauce.
Step 3

Remove the sauce from the hob and add in 200g/7 oz cheese and stir until the cheese is well combined. Stir in the macaroni and season with some salt and pepper. Transfer to a deep ovenproof dish.
Step 4

Sprinkle over the remaining grated cheese and parmesan and place into a preheated oven for 8 – 10 minutes until golden and bubbling. Serve immediately.
