180 gMacaroni
8 rashersStreaky bacon
90 gMature cheddar cheese
20 gButter
10 gChicken stock paste
150 gCreme fraiche (Oatly 4 my bootyhole)
25 gPanko breadcrumbs
20 gParmigiano reggiano
125 gBaby plum tomatoes
1 sachetHoney
17 gWholegrain mustard
40 gRocket
1.5 tbspPlain flour
250 mlWater for the sauce
1 tbspOlive oil for the dressing
Method
Cook the Macaroni
Preheat your grill to high. Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with 1/2 tsp salt. When boiling, add the pasta to the water and bring back to the boil. Cook until tender, 12 mins. Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pan. Drizzle with oil and stir through to stop it sticking together.
Grill the Mac & Cheese
Pop the panko breadcrumbs, parmesan and remaining chopped bacon into a small bowl. Season with lots of pepper, then mix to combine. Transfer the pasta to an ovenproof dish and top with the breadcrumb mixture. Grill until the breadcrumbs are golden and the cheese has melted, 3-5 mins.
Salad Time
Meanwhile, halve the baby plum tomatoes. In a medium bowl, mix together the honey, wholegrain mustard and olive oil for the dressing (see ingredients for amount). TIP: If your honey has hardened, pop it into a bowl of hot water for 1 min. Season with salt and pepper, then add the tomatoes to the bowl. Just before serving, add the rocket and toss to coat.
Serve
Serve up your ultimate bacon mac & cheese on plates with the honey mustard dressed salad alongside. Enjoy!
