Instructions

Cook the Pasta
1

a) Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil with 1/2 tsp salt for the pasta. Fill and boil your kettle. 

b) Grate the Cheddar.

c) When boiling, add the penne 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 Cheese Sauce
2

a) Meanwhile, 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!

b) Add the veg stock paste and gradually stir in the boiled water (see pantry for amount) until smooth. Bring to the boil, then stir and simmer until thickened, 1-2 mins. Use a whisk to get rid of any lumps. 

c) Stir in the creme fraiche, bring to the boil (still stirring), then remove from the heat. 

d) Add the cheese to the sauce and stir until combined. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed. 

Grill and Serve
3

a) Preheat your grill to high. 

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

c) Pop under your grill until the top is golden brown, 3-5 mins. Serve when ready!

Enjoy!
