this look fab - will be trying this tomorrow night for tea

It does look delicious, I will definitely try your recipe as I really miss macaroni cheese! Thank you for sharing.

I used to use Carr's sauce flour, water and my HEAs of cheese (or HEAs of cheese and milk) to make a cheese sauce to pour over cooked pasta. I think it worked out at 2syns for the lot.

Looks yummy, will have to try!

batchelor's pasta n sauce macaroni and cheese made with milk from allowance and sprinkled with grated cheese and placed under the grill is really delicous and only 1 1/2 syn per pkt

I make macaroni cheese using extra light philly and mix with water to thin down cook pasta add veggies to pasta i.e. peppers, chopped frozen veg (I cook with pasta nr end) mushrooms etc and mix altogether. put into pyrex dish and top with tomatoes sliced and a small helping of parmesan which I syn 1 tbsp. 1.5 syns and grill. Even though the cheesy mixture looks thin at first the grill dries it out sooo yummy and easy

There is also a lovely recipe for macaroni cheese in this months SW magazine.

could you do a quark based sauce, we use quark for the white sauce on lasagne
