Ingredients

350 g Macaroni
40 g Butter
40 g Plain flour
700 ml Milk
200 g Cheddar, grated
3 g English mustard
2 Tomatoes, sliced, for the top
40 g Breadcrumbs
250 g Broccoli, cut into small florets
2 g Salt
1 g Black pepper

Method

Heat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Cook the macaroni in boiling salted water for 2 minutes less than the pack says, then drain.
Melt the butter in a large pan, stir in the flour for a minute, then add the milk gradually, whisking until smooth. Simmer for 5 minutes.
Off the heat, stir in two-thirds of the cheese, the mustard, salt and pepper, then fold in the macaroni.
Tip into a baking dish, lay the tomato slices on top and sprinkle with the breadcrumbs and remaining cheese.
Bake for 20 minutes until bubbling and golden. Steam the broccoli for the last 5 minutes to serve alongside.
