I can't remember how I came across this recipe, but I'm sure it will have been while I was hunting for something to make with what we already had at home.

Let's get cooking!

Ingredients:
1 pint whole milk
650 ml vegetable stock
1 tbsp garlic granules
3 sprigs thyme
3 garlic cloves
2 tbsp English mustard
2 bay leaves
400g fusilli
150g grated cheddar
1 garlic baguette
100g grated mozzarella

Add the milk, stock, garlic granules, thyme, whole unpeeled garlic cloves and mustard to a blender. Blend until smooth. My blender was a little too full and I ended up with some of the mixture over my worktop as it all seemed to explode out.


Next add the pasta to a large pan and strain the milk mixture into the pan with the pasta.

Add the bay leaves and season with salt and black pepper.
Turn the heat up to medium-high, bring to the boil, the reduce the heat to medium. Cook the pasta, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and the sauce has thickened.


Next turn on the grill to high and grate your cheddar.
Tear or cut the baguette into bite-sized chunks.

Once your pasta is cooked, stir through the cheddar .

Scatter over the mozzarella and baguette chunks.
Place under the grill until golden and crispy.

The you're ready to serve



I left mine under the grill too long as my garlic bread was burnt, but all the flavours were there. It was really delicious.
The recipe was really easy to follow and it was really quick to make. It's the perfect recipe for any novice cook.
I'll happily make this again as it was full of flavour, but I'd have it under the grill a little less next time.
I'd love to check out the other recipes from this website to see if there is anything else I can make.

If you're interested in following the original recipe, then head over to the mob website onto the Garlic Bread Mac & Cheese recipe page

See you soon!

First from this box I cooked the Moghul Chicken Korma. In this kit you get Korma Curry Paste, Coconut & Garlic Puree and Korma Spice Garnish.



We always enjoy the Moghul Chicken Korma, even when like this time I seem to have burnt it. So it doesn't look too appealing, but the flavours are always there.

Next from this box I cooked the Bokkeumbap. In this kit you get Garlic Paste, Gochujang and Doenjang.



We always enjoy the Bokkeumbap, it's a good vegetarian dish. It's full of flavour  and always cooks perfectly.

Next from this box I cooked the Bibimbap. In this kit you get Gochujang Paste, Miso Stock and Soy & Red Miso Sauce.


I always enjoy the Bibimbap. All the flavours work really well together and it's a dish we both look forward to having.

Lastly from this box I cooked the Linguine With Courgette. In this kit you get Citrus & Chilli Paste, White Wine Reduction and Pomodoro Seasoning.


This is another great dish, it's really light but filling. I love the flavours and I always find it refreshing.

First from this box I cooked the Soy & Honey Salmon. In this kit you get Soy & Honey, Miso Glaze and Yasai Sauce.



This is one of our regular picks. I always love the flavours and the salmon always cooks perfectly. I've still not converted Skye to salmon yet but the chicken works well with all the flavours.


Next from this box I cooked the Butternut Squash One-Pot. In this kit you get Persian Style Spices, Tomato Paste and Mushroom Stock.

Get the kettle on ready for step 2!

Start the stew.




Add the stock.



Finishing Touches.


Serve!


I thought the flavours worked really well, I'm just not a fan of spinach, so I'd miss that out in the future. I'd also love to give this recipe a try with the cranberries added to see if it adds anything extra to the flavours and texture.
I served ours with some bread and butter to be able to dip in the stock.


Next from this box I cooked the Peruvian Roast Chicken. In this kit you get Spice Rub, Spicy Rice Mix and Green Sauce Seasoning.

Heat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas Mark 7.

Marinate the chicken.



Prep the smoky spice rice.



Make your green sauce.


Serve!

I really liked this dish, it was really easy and simple to make. The flavours worked really well together.


Last from this box I cooked the Bombay Biryani. In this Kit you get Garlic Paste, Biryani Paste and Bombay Spice Mix.

Heat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas Mark 6.

Half cook the rice.

Start the curry base.


Add the Bombay spices.



Assemble the Biryani in layers.

Serve!


I don't think Skye was a fan of this dish as it's all mixed together. When we have a curry she has it separate from the rice in case she doesn't like the curry. I thought it was nice and really liked the mixture of flavours and textures.
