Instructions

Get Prepped
1

Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with ½ tsp salt for the macaroni

Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Grate the Cheddar cheese. Halve the ciabatta.

In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, half the hard Italian style cheese and the olive oil for the crumb (see pantry for amount). Set the cheesy crumb aside.

Lay the ciabatta on a baking tray, cut-side up. Spread over half the garlic and sprinkle over the remaining hard Italian style cheese. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside. 

Cook the Macaroni
2

When your pan of water is boiling, stir in the macaroni and bring back to the boil. Cook until tender, 12 mins.

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

Fry the Mushrooms
3

Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. 

Once hot, add the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Fry, stirring occasionally, until browned, 5-6 mins.

Add the remaining garlic to the mushrooms and cook for 1 min, then lower the heat to medium.

Make your Creamy Sauce
4

Melt the butter into the pan of mushrroms, then stir in the flour (see pantry for both amounts) and cook until it forms a paste, 1-2 mins - you've made a roux!

Stir in the water for the sauce (see pantry for amount) a little at a time, followed by the creme fraiche and vegetable stock paste.

Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer, stirring until thickened, 2-3 mins.

Bring on the Mac and Cheese
5

Meanwhile, preheat your grill to high.

Once the sauce has thickened, remove from the heat and stir through the Cheddar and cooked macaroni.

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

Transfer the creamy pasta to an ovenproof dish and top with the cheesy crumb. Place the mac and cheese on the baking tray with the garlic bread and grill until both are golden, 3-5 mins.

Finish and Serve
6

When everything's ready, cut the garlic bread diagonally into triangles.

Share your ultimate mushroom mac and cheese between your bowls, then sprinkle over the truffle zest.

Serve the cheesy garlic bread and salad alongside. Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the salad to finish.
