Air fryer mac & cheese

Method

1. 1

   Cook the macaroni following pack instructions, drain, then set aside.

2. 2

   Warm the milk in a heatproof jug in the microwave or in a small saucepan until just steaming. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over a low heat, then stir in the plain flour until combined and cook for 1 min. Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly, until all combined and you have a glossy sauce. Once bubbling, cook for 1 min then remove from the heat. Stir in all but a handful of the cheddar along with the mustard and mix until the cheese has melted.

3. 3

   Tip the pasta into a heatproof dish that will fit into your air fryer and pour over the cheese sauce. Give it a little mix to ensure the sauce has coated as much of the pasta as possible.

4. 4

   Combine the breadcrumbs with the remaining cheddar and scatter over the top of the macaroni and cheese mixture. Heat in your air fryer at 180C for 15-20 mins until the breadcrumbs are golden and the mac and cheese is bubbling.
