Macaroni & cheese is so yesterday, Chef! This very elegant and elevated version uses both ingredients, but brings so much more flavour to the table. A bed of al dente macaroni, coated in a garlic & special spice mix sauce, is crowned with golden pork strips that have been basted in a butter & sage sauce. Finished with sprinklings of Italian-style hard cheese.

PASTA
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. Cook the pasta until al dente, 10-12 minutes. Drain, reserving the pasta water, and toss through a drizzle of olive oil.
GOLDEN Pork
Place a pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the schnitzel dry with paper towel. When hot, sear the schnitzel until browned, 30-60 seconds per side. Remove from the pan and season. Cut into strips.
CREAMY SAUCE
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil and 20g [40g]|#7DA0D7 of butter. When hot, fry the garlic, the Cornflour, and the spice mix until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Slowly whisk in the milk until the sauce thickens. Add 100ml [200ml]|#7DA0D7 of the reserved pasta water and simmer until thickening, 2-3 minutes. Season and mix in the cooked pasta. Loosen with a splash of the reserved pasta water if it’s too thick and remove from the heat.
SAGE BURNT BUTTER
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and 10g [20g]|#7DA0D7 of butter. Once foaming, fry the sage leaves until crispy, 1-2 minutes per side. (To make this easier, use tongs if you have them!) Mix in the Pork strips and remove from the heat.
