Instructions
Step 1
Cook the macaroni in for 8-10 minutes so that it is "Al Dente", as it will cook further in the oven. Grate the cheddar cheese then add 30 g of this cheese to a food mixer along with the Parmesan, cottage cheese, flour, milk and yoghurt. Blend this until it is smooth. Cut the bacon up into small slices and add these to a small pan, along with the blended cheese sauce. Stir this mixture well then cook over a medium heat for several minutes until the sauce begins to thicken slightly. Drain and rinse the pasta then also add this to the pan and cook for a further 2-3 minutes. Transfer the contents of the pan into a small baking dish and top the Mac and Cheese with the remaining 10 g of cheddar and a sprinkle of black pepper. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 C for around 15 minutes until the top becomes golden. Best served hot. Suggested servings: Two.
