Spinach Macaroni And Cheese

Published: 30th October 2011 13:34
 Recipe of the week

 

Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 25 minutes

Serves: 4 people

Ingredients

 

  • 1 bag of spinach (350-400g), stalks removed
  • 260g dried macaroni
  • olive oil
  • knob of butter (about 50g), plus a little extra for greasing
  • 600ml milk
  • 50g plain flour
  • a little grated nutmeg
  • 200g grated cheddar
  • 50g parmesan / pecorino

 

Instruction
  1. Blanch the spinach in a pan of boiling water for a min or two, until just wilted. Drain and refresh in a bowl of very cold water, then drain again. Squeeze out any excess moisture, then roughly chop.
  2. Place in the bottom of a lightly buttered baking dish and season with salt and pepper. Cook the macaroni according to the packet instructions. Drain, toss in a little olive oil (just enough to coat and stop it sticking together) and keep to one side.
  3. Gently heat the butter in a large non-stick saucepan. Add the flour and cook gently for two mins, stirring continuously. Add a little of the milk, still stirring continuously, then gradually add the rest, along with the nutmeg and ¾ of the cheese, stirring all the time until the sauce has thickened (use a whisk if it gets a bit lumpy).
  4. Mix the pasta in with the sauce and pour over the spinach. Sprinkle over the rest of the cheese, then bake at 200˚C for about 10-15 mins, or until browned and crispy on top.
