Mac & Cheese Time

a) Vigorously stir the creme fraiche, wholegrain mustard and both the grated Cheddar and grated Italian style cheese into the macaroni.

b) Simmer until piping hot, 1-2 mins.

c) Add a splash of water if it's a little too thick. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.

Serve
6

a) Share the mac & cheese between your bowls.

b) Sprinkle over the chilli flakes (add less if you'd prefer things milder).

c) Serve with the pea shoots alongside. Drizzle the balsamic glaze and some oil over the leaves.

Enjoy!
