GET THE PASTA WATER GOING
Place a pot of water for the macaroni over a high heat. Add a drizzle of oil, stir through a pinch of salt, and bring to the boil.
CRISPY SAUSAGE & FRIED VEG
Place a pan over a high heat with a small drizzle of oil. When hot, sauté the chopped sausage for 3-4 minutes until crispy and glossy. On completion, transfer to a bowl, leaving the juices in the pan. Return the pan to the heat and fry the diced Onion and Green Pepper for 5-6 minutes until soft and slightly caramelised, shifting occasionally. Add the diced pickled peppers and fry for another minute. Remove from the pan on completion, add to the bowl of fried sausage, and set aside.
HOLY MACARONI!
Once the water is boiling, cook the macaroni for 8-10 minutes until al dente. Drain on completion and toss through some oil to prevent sticking.
CREAMY, CHEESY GOODNESS
Place a pot over a medium-high heat with 2 tsp of butter. Allow to soften slightly, then add in the Cajun Rub (to taste) and the flour. Mix vigorously with a wooden spoon for about a minute until it forms a paste – this is called a roux. Gently whisk in the milk and a generous pinch of salt until well combined. Add in both grated cheeses and stir until the sauce is thick and the cheese has melted. Add in the drained macaroni and three-quarters of the sausage, pepper, and Onion mixture. Stir through until reheated and remove from the heat on completion.
