    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.
