Cooking Instructions
Fresh: Cook for 4-5 minutes in boiling water.
Frozen: Cook for 5-6 minutes in boiling water.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Mix in the flour and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture turns a light brown colour, about 2-3 minutes.
- Slowly start pouring in the milk, mixing constantly. Increase the heat to medium and cook the mixture for another 2-3 minutes or until thickened – the sauce should coat the back of the spoon.
- Add the cheeses, stirring to melt. If you’re unable to melt in all the cheese, add a bit more milk – a tablespoon at a time – until the cheese is melted.
- Meanwhile, add 2.5 litres of salted water in a large saucepan and bring to a gentle boil. Cook the Mini Macaroni for 4-5 minutes, draining it a minute before the al dente cooking time.
- Drain the pasta and stir it into the sauce, reserving some cooked pasta on the side. If it seems too saucy, add the remaining Mini Macaroni.
- Place in a baking tray and top with breadcrumbs.
- Grill in the oven for 10 minutes, stand for 5 minutes and serve.
Buon Appetito!
