A smoky tasty mac n cheese!
Everyone loves Mac N Cheese, so I was a little surprised when Tom told me he wasn't a fan. Desperate to change his mind, I decided to cook up the most delicious version he'd ever tasted and this was the recipe I created. Try experimenting with different cheeses to come up with a recipe you love - our favourite so far is caramelised onion cheddar.

Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200'C and cook the macaroni in a pan of boiling water for 10 minutes and strain.
Step 2
Meanwhile, blend the bread into breadcrumbs and sprinkle out on a baking sheet with the rosemary and chopped hazelnuts. Toast in the hot oven for 5 minutes until golden and place to the side.
Step 3
Melt the butter, stir in the plain flour and whisk in the milk. Cook for a few minutes until the mixture turns into a thick sauce. Stir in the worcester sauce and a few teaspoons of chipotle hot sauce, depending on how spicy you'd like it.
Step 4
Stir in the mozzarella and 100g of cheddar until it melts in the sauce. Stir in the macaroni until it's coated with the sauce.
Step 5
Divide the mac n cheese between four ramekins and coat the tops with a thin layer of BBQ sauce. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture on top and top with the remaining cheddar cheese. Place under the grill in the hot oven for 5 minutes until the cheese melts and serve hot!
