Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 200ºC/400ºF/gas 6.
- Cook the macaroni in a pan of salted boiling water 2 minutes short of the timing on the packet instructions, then drain in a colander and reserve a little of the cooking water.
- Heat the oil in a large heavy-based frying pan, add the marjoram or oregano and fry for a minute until it starts to crisp up, then turn off the heat.
- Add your cooked pasta to the marjoram or oregano butter, along with a couple of spoonfuls of the reserved cooking water and the Parmesan, fontina or Taleggio and mascarpone.
- Return to a medium heat and toss and stir around until most of the cheese has melted and you have a lovely gooey sauce - you may need to add a little more of the reserved cooking water.
- Season to taste with sea salt and black pepper, then tip it all into an earthenware dish. Grate over a quarter of the nutmeg, tear over the mozzarella and sprinkle over the extra Parmesan.
- Bake the macaroni cheese in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, finishing up with a quick whack under the grill, until golden brown and crispy on top.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Spread the baguette chunks over a baking sheet, drizzle with the melted butter and season. Bake for 6 mins until crisp, then set aside.
- Boil the pasta for 2 mins less than stated on the pack, then drain. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the garlic and English mustard powder, cook for 1 min, then stir in the plain flour.
- Cook for 1 min more, then gradually whisk in the milk until you have a lump-free sauce. Simmer for 5 mins, whisking all the time until thickened. Take off the heat, then stir in the cheddar and half the parmesan.
- Stir the pasta and some seasoning into the cheesy sauce. Tip into a large ovenproof dish, or four individual dishes.
- Scatter over the bread and the remaining parmesan, then bake for 20 mins until crisp and golden. Can be frozen before baking - defrost thoroughly before cooking.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Cook the macaroni until still slightly firm. Drain and set aside.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg. In a large pot, melt the butter and sprinkle in the flour. Whisk together over medium-low heat. Cook for a couple of minutes, whisking constantly. Don't let it burn. Pour in the milk, add the mustard and whisk until smooth. Cook until very thick, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low.
- Take 1/4 cup of the sauce and slowly pour it into the beaten egg, whisking constantly to avoid cooking the eggs. Whisk together until smooth. Pour the egg into the sauce, whisking constantly. Stir until smooth. Add in the cheese and stir to melt. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt and the pepper. Add any additional spices if desired. Taste the sauce and add more salt and seasoned salt as needed! DO NOT UNDERSALT.
- Pour in the drained, cooked macaroni and stir to combine. Serve immediately (while it's still very creamy) or pour into a buttered baking dish, top with extra cheese and bake until bubbly and golden on top, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Fry the bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until slightly crisp, about 8 minutes. Remove from the pan and cut into bite-size pieces.
- In a separate pan, cook the onions in the butter over a low heat until caramelized, 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Use a fork to crumble the gorgonzola.
- Put the bacon, caramelized onions and crumbled gorgonzola into separate bowls. Serve as delicious toppings for both sliders and macaroni cheese.

Steps:
- In a medium pot, add broth, milk, butter, garlic powder, mustard, salt, ground black pepper and bring to a boil.
- Add elbow macaroni and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring every few minutes to prevent sticking. Cook until al dente or desired firmness and adding more milk or broth if you wish.
- Turn off heat. Add marble cheese and Parmesan cheese in portions and stir between each until melted. That's it.
- Serve immediately as mac and cheese tastes best fresh. Saucy, creamy and so comforting!
- Top with your favorite hot sauce, everything bagel, Montreal steak spice, paprika, nutmeg, soy sauce and even honey. Or with leftover chopped bacon. I like to bake mine at 425 degrees F for 20 minutes. Way less mess.

- Cook the pasta in a large saucepan of boiling salted water, following the packet instructions, until al dente. Drain well. Process the bread into coarse crumbs by pulsing it in a food processor.

Remove from the heat and slowly stir in the milk until smooth. Return to the heat and cook, stirring, until the mixture starts to boil and thicken. Remove from the heat and whisk in the mustard and egg yolk. Stand for 5 minutes to cool slightly then stir in the cheese until smooth. Stir in the pasta and season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

MACARONI AND CHEESE RECIPES THAT ARE ACTUALLY HEALTHY

- Truffle Gnocchi Macaroni and Cheese. Share on Pinterest. Gnocchi are delicate potato dumplings you can douse in any pasta sauce. Here, of course, the sauce is a Swiss-cheddar-Parmesan mix that keeps the color light but the flavor rich.
- Twice Baked Spaghetti Squash Mac ‘n’ Cheese. We love how the strings of spaghetti squash are so close to the real thing, you can use it to make any Italian dish a little lighter.
- Quinoa Mac ‘n’ Cheese. This certainly doesn’t look like your traditional dish, but that doesn’t mean you won’t devour it just the same. In addition to using protein-rich quinoa, leeks and tomatoes are mixed in for extra flavor and nutrients.
- Mac ‘n’ Cheese Zoodles. We’ve had zucchini noodles every other way; it would be a sin not to have them smothered in melted cheddar. Here you get not just cheddar but also cream cheese and goat cheese mixed in for a super silky consistency.
- Sweet Potato Mac and Cheese. All you need are six ingredients to whip up this sweet yet savory dinner. Sweet potatoes may seem odd as pasta, but cook them quickly in a skillet, and they’ll be soft yet not mushy like baked taters.
- Cheesy Baked Quinoa. This recipe takes its cheese commitment seriously. Feel free to toss some veggies or protein into the mix, just be sure you actually dive below the heavenly layer of cheese on top to actually eat the rest!
- Stovetop Avocado Mac and Cheese. Share on Pinterest. Finally, our two favorite food groups come together. (Yes, we consider avocados and macaroni and cheese their own food groups).
- Roasted Brussels Sprouts, Bacon, and Pepperjack Macaroni and Cheese. Many kids may turn their noses up at Brussels sprouts, but if you’re like us, you’ve grown to love these mini cabbage-like veggies.
- Spicy Roasted Vegetable Macaroni and Cheese. This ain’t no kids’ mac. Four different veggies add color, flavor, texture, fiber, and lotsa vitamins and minerals; spices add a bit of bold flavor.
- Three-Cheese Macaroni Stuffed Peppers. Is it just us or does putting food inside a veggie makes it taste better? Well, with gruyère and both sharp and white cheddar, this one certainly tastes amazing.

- Remove from the heat and whisk in Cheddar, Parmesan and mustard until the cheese is melted.
