Macaroni cheese - your best recipe

[Imbimba]

I must have macaroni cheese for dinner today. I am 6.5 weeks pregnant with DC3, I feel really sick, and the comforting deliciousness that is macaroni cheese has been on my mind since last night.

I can make a white sauce no problem. Do i just add grated cheese? Does anyone have any tips to make it extra delicious?

The thought of it is going to get me through the day. Any recipes appreciated.

God these recipes sound amazing.

I second the recommendation for breadcrumbs - just put a few stale slices of bread into your blender, add some mixed herbs and black pepper. Sprinkle on top for crunchy deliciousness.

I also add a sprinkling of pumpkin seeds for some crunch and goodness.

Going to try the tomato juice thing, sounds intriguing!

A lazy, calorific but delicious way to do the whites sauce is to simply heat double cream for a few minutes, throw a pile of cheese in, season and heat for a little bit longer until thickened.
So so so good!

Fried then added to the cheese sauce

Mix a tin of baked beans into the cheese sauce before mixing with pasta and bunging in the oven. Sounds weird but absolutely deelish!
