MAKING 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 Mascarpone, the cheddar cheese, ½ the grated Italian-style hard cheese, and seasoning. Loosen with warm water or milk if it’s too thick. Remove from the heat.
SUNNY SEEDS
Place the sunflower seeds in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 2-4 minutes until lightly browned, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to cool.
MAKE THE CRUMB
Return the pan to a medium-high heat with 30g of butter and a drizzle of oil. Once melted, add the breadcrumbs and fry for 1-2 minutes until lightly toasted and golden. Remove from the heat and toss through ½ the chopped Parsley, the remaining Italian-style hard cheese, and seasoning.
TOSS THE SALAD
In a bowl, combine the toasted sunflower seeds, the rinsed green leaves, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning.
