Instructions

Cook the Pasta

1

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

b) Grate the Red Leicester and Cheddar.

c) When boiling, add the penne pasta 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.

Make the Sauce

2

a) Meanwhile, 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 flour (see pantry for amount). Cook until it forms a paste, 1-2 mins - you've made a roux!

c) Stir in the water for the sauce (see pantry for amount) a little at a time, followed by the vegetable stock paste. Bring to the boil, stir and simmer until thickened, 1-2 mins. Stir in the creme fraiche, then remove from the heat.

d) Add the grated cheese and stir until melted. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.

Grill and Serve

3

a) Add the pasta to the sauce and stir to combine. Add a splash of water to loosen if needed, then pour into an ovenproof dish.

b) Pop under your grill until the top is golden brown, 3-5 mins.

c) Add to a serving dish and tuck in.

Enjoy!
