Macaroni cheese with Gorgonzola and fresh tomato
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.
