Servings 4 pies

Ingredients

  • 120 g macaroni pasta dry weight
  • 1 tablespoon salted butter
  • 1 tablespoon plain flour
  • 200 ml milk
  • 75 g cheddar cheese
  • 30 g mozzarella cheese (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 shells savoury pie crust

Instructions

  • Boil macaroni pasta according to packet instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • In a small pot over a medium heat, add salted butter. When the butter has melted, add the plain flour. Mix well and cook for 30-40 seconds or until cooked out a little.
  • Slowly add the milk, whisking thoroughly. Add the cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese. Add the salt and black pepper. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, whisking thoroughly until the cheese sauce is thick and smooth.
  • Add the cooked macaroni pasta to the cheese sauce. Mix well and set aside to cool slightly.
  • Heat the oven to 200c/Gas Mark 6. Arrange the savoury pastry pie crusts on a baking tray. Top each pie crust generously with macaroni cheese. Top with a little extra grated cheese and place in the oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the macaroni cheese is bubbling and hot and the pie crusts are golden.
  • Arrange the macaroni pies on a serving plate and serve with tomato ketchup.

Notes

Savoury pie crust shells can be found in larger supermarkets or some good butchers.
