Macaroni cheese with Gorgonzola and fresh tomato

Serves: 4
Cooking Time: 40 mins

Ingredients

  • 200g butter
  • 30ml (2 tbsp) cake flour
  • 100ml fresh cream
  • 400ml milk
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 200g Gorgonzola or blue cheese, crumbled
  • 750ml (3 cups) macaroni, cooked until al dente
  • 8 slices fresh tomato

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

2

Melt the butter in a saucepan until it bubbles. Stir in the flour to make a roux. Slowly add the cream and milk and stir until the mixture thickens. Season and add 100g of the cheese, stirring until it melts.

3

Take the cheese mixture off the heat and add the macaroni. You may need to add a little more fresh cream – it needs to be a bit runny so that it doesn’t dry out when you bake it.

4

Divide the mixture between 4 ramekins and top with 2 slices of tomato and the remaining cheese. Bake until hot and bubbling, about 15 minutes. Serve immediately.
