Instructions

a) Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil with 0.5 tsp salt for the pasta.

b) Meanwhile, grate Cheddar, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press) and trim and thinly slice the spring onion.

c) When boiling, add the macaroni to the water and bring back to the boil. Cook until tender, 12 mins.

d) Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back into the pan. Drizzle with oil and stir through to stop it sticking together.

a) While the pasta boils, preheat your grill to high.

b) Melt the butter (see pantry for amount) in a saucepan on medium-high heat. Once hot, stir in the tomato puree, garlic, half the jerk seasoning and the flour (see pantry for amount). Cook until it forms a paste, 1-2 mins - you've made a roux!

c) Stir in 200ml water, a little at a time, followed by the vegetable stock paste. TIP: Use milk instead of water for a creamier cheese sauce if you'd prefer.

d) Bring to the boil, stir and simmer until thickened, 1-2 mins. Stir in the creme fraiche, then remove from the heat.

a) Add two thirds of the grated cheese and stir until melted. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed, then stir through three quarters of the spring onion

b) Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and stir to combine. Add a splash of water to loosen if needed, then add to a suitably sized ovenproof dish.

c) In a small bowl, combine the remaining cheese and the remaining jerk seasoning.

d) Sprinkle the spiced cheese over the macaroni, then pop under your grill until the top is golden brown, 3-5 mins.

e) Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle over the remaining spring onion to finish.

Enjoy!
