Method
- 1
Heat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan).
- 2
Boil the macaroni in salted water for 2 minutes less than the packet says, then drain. Gluten free pasta keeps softening in the sauce.
- 3
Melt the butter in a large pan over a medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Add the milk a little at a time, whisking, until smooth.
1 min - 4
Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring, until thick enough to coat a spoon. Take off the heat and stir in the cheddar and nutmeg. Season well.
5 min - 5
Fold in the pasta and tip into a baking dish. Arrange the tomatoes on top and scatter over the parmesan and breadcrumbs.
- 6
Bake for 20 minutes until bubbling and golden.
