  1. MAKE THE MAC

    Place a pot over a medium heat, add the milk, 150ml of water, the Macaroni and a small pinch of salt. Bring up to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes stirring occasionally. When the pasta is al dente, mix through the cream, cheddar cheese and ½ of the Italian-style cheese, then season to taste. Remove from the heat and set aside.

  2. MAKE THE CRUMB

    Place a pan over medium-high heat with 30g of butter and a drizzle of oil. Once melted, add the grated garlic and fry for 1 minute until fragrant, stirring constantly. Mix through the breadcrumbs until coated completely in the melted butter and fry until lightly toasted and golden. Remove from the heat and toss through the chopped parsley, the remaining cheese, and seasoning to taste.

  3. CHAR THE VEG

    Place a pan (or grill pan if you have one) over a high heat. Lightly coat the Baby Marrow rounds in oil and seasoning. When hot, cook for 2-3 minutes per side until charred, shifting occasionally. Remove from the heat and set aside.

  4. TOSS THE SALAD

    In a bowl, place the rinsed green leaves, charred Baby Marrow rounds, halved Baby Tomatoes and the Balsamic Vinegar. Season to taste and toss to coat.

  5. SPEEDY FEAST

    Dish up a hearty portion of the creamy mac n’ cheese. Top with the cheesy toasted breadcrumbs and serve the charred balsamic vegetable salad on the side. Tuck in.
