Cajun mac & cheese

Method

1. 1

   Start by boiling the pasta in salted water until just al dente (around 9 minutes) drain and set aside

2. 2

   In a large pan, melt the butter, add the flour and whisk together for a few minutes to form a paste.

3. 3

   Gradually start adding the milk, keep whisking and adding more milk until it starts to thicken (takes around 10 minutes)

4. 4

   Now turn off the heat, add the cajun seasoning, a pinch of salt and pepper and 3/4 of the Red Leicester cheese and cheddar

5. 5

   Stir until cheese has melted, add the cooked pasta, stir again to coat. If it seems a little thick you can add a splash of water or milk!

6. 6

   Add to a dish, sprinkle remaining cheese on top as well as the parmesan

7. 7

   Place under the grill until bubbling and golden!

8. 8

   I served mine here with the beef brisket recipe from the club - there's a slow cooker version and a version for the hob/oven and it goes so well with this!
