'Use It Up' Mac & Cheese
Prep Time15 Minutes
Servings4
Cook Time10 Minutes
Ingredients
200g macaroni pasta, or pasta of choice
50g butter
50g flour
500ml warm milk
300g leftover cheese, grated
1 tsp Dijon mustard
Salt
200g leftover ham
2 tbsp fresh parsley, to garnish
Leftover veg of choice
1 tbsp olive oil
pepper
200g leftover turkey
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 180°C.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil and cook the pasta according to packet instructions.
  3. Once cooked, drain and drizzle with olive oil to prevent it sticking.
  4. Melt the butter in a saucepan. Once melted, add the flour and stir until a paste forms. Gradually whisk in the warm milk until combined and smooth. The consistency should be similar to soup, not too thick and not too thin.
  5. Remove from the heat and add the mustard and 250g of cheese, taste and season as you feel necessary.
  6. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and stir any leftover chopped turkey and ham or veg you have through the mixture.
  7. Pour into an ovenproof dish and sprinkle the remaining 50g of cheese on top.
  8. Bake for 10 minutes until the top is golden and bubbling, serve immediately.
  9. Sprinkle with chopped parsley to garnish.
