I made this a few weeks ago with a large tub of cheese sauce
from Tesco. This tub is about half as
big again as the regular sized tubs you get in other supermarkets so if you buy
one of those you will either need to thin it out a bit more, or make three
serves not four. It was so easy to put
together that I had to share it with you all!
For four sensible portions I used :
300 g dried pasta
1 large tub of Tesco cheese sauce
6 rashers of bacon
About half a cup of milk
About a cup of grated cheese (I used a mix of cheddar and
parmesan)
Salt and pepper to taste
Two handfuls of cherry tomatoes sliced
About half a cup of fresh breadcrumbs
Cook the pasta according to the directions.
While the pasta is cooking add the cheese sauce to a large
basin and whisk in the milk to thin out the sauce a little. Add half of the grated cheeses and season to
taste with a little salt and pepper.
Cook the bacon and cut into strips/rough dice.
Drain the pasta well and return to the pan, add the cheese
sauce and bacon and combine all together.
Turn out into a baking dish, top with the tomato slices and then scatter
over the breadcrumbs, finally scatter the last of the cheese over the top.
Bake in a hot oven for 25 – 30 minutes. I cooked mine at 200oC (400oF/gas
mark 6).
This freezes very well (without
the tomato slices) so it’s worth making a double batch for a quick after-work
meal.
