[woodpops]

Has anyone got recipes for macaroni cheese and macaroni pudding?? As you can tell I've got a cupboard full of macaroni and am getting a bit fed up with making tomato macaroni.

I found diet macaroni recipes here would they be any good to you?

mum's macaroni cheese

chop an onion and boil it in the water with the macoroni and salt

make a white sauce add mature cheddar cheese (I normally grate in half a large slab) ... then add a tin of chopped tomatoes

mix cooked pasta and onion with the cheese sauce

put in a casserole dish (can put grated cheese and a couple of slices of tomato on the top if you want or not) and bake in oven for 45 minutes (last ten minutes without a cover)

bake at about gas mark 5 or 180
