Method

  • step 1

    Heat the grill to its highest setting. In a flameproof casserole dish or metal frying pan, melt the butter and fry the garlic for 2 mins. Add the spinach and cook until it wilts, about 2 mins. Pour in the milk and beer and bring to a gentle bubble. Add the macaroni and stir intermittently for around 20 mins until the pasta is cooked and covered in sauce.

  • step 2

    Stir in the cheddar and half the mozzarella. When it starts to melt, sprinkle the remaining mozzarella on top and put it in the oven for around 7-10 mins or until browned on top and sensational underneath.

Fab recipe. Works every time and is super tasty. The only tweak I make is to cook the pasta for 10 minutes because that’s what it says on the packet.

Made this tonight with a few 'tweaks' and it was delicious. Instead of a Pale Ale, I used a dark Stout. I also used Gruyere instead of cheddar and added freshly ground black pepper. It was amazing.

Considering none of us in the house really like Mac and cheese apart from my son who eats the tinned stuff I wanted to give it a try after having some at a Caribbean wedding and wow I wasn’t dissapointed it’s lovely and I’m just making it again

question

I don't understand the grill part... Is this cooked on a stove top for the initial part, or is there an open grill? Thanks

Hi, thanks for your question. It should say to pop it under the grill in step 2 to brown. We'll update the recipe to show this. We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.

Awful-should have read the reviews before serving it to my parents. Had a very bitter taste. Will stick to my usual Mac and cheese!
