Mac and Cheese

 Mac and Cheese, if only marriages lasted as long as these two soldiers.Warm oozing cheese with soft macaroni topped with sriracha hot sauce (my personal favorite). Whether eaten alone or with an accomplice............Moreish.

Recipe:

3 cups Gruyere cheese grated
1 cup sharp Cheddar grated
1 cup Gouda or Edam grated
1 stick of butter
1 1/2 packet of elbow macaroni
4 cups warm milk
1/2 cup flour
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3 tomatoes sliced thick

Method

Preheat oven to 190 Celsius, cook the macaroni and drain. In a pot melt the butter and add the flour stirring for 2 minutes. Gradually add the milk and whisk until it becomes a thick sauce, season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Add the cheese little by little and stir until it becomes a pool of eternal sunshine. Set aside.
In a oven proof dish lay the pasta, pour the cheese sauce and top with sliced tomatoes. Bake in the oven 35-45 minutes.
