Напрямки

Add the milk, stock, garlic granules and macaroni to a non-stick (important) deep frying pan and mix well. Bring to the boil and allow to cook for about 10 minutes, uncovered, or until the macaroni is tender, being sure to stir it frequently.

Once the macaroni is tender, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the Cheddar, Parmesan and cream cheese until you have a creamy, smooth sauce. If it's a little thick, add a splash more milk.

Taste and adjust for seasoning, adding salt and pepper as needed, then sprinkle with the mozzarella and place under a hot grill for a few minutes, until the top is golden and bubbling. Serve straight away.

This recipe is written as a side dish, but it will also serve four as a main meal, with a side of salad or some veggies.

Be sure to grate your own hard cheeses, as pre-grated doesn't melt well.
