Mac and cheese:


Macaroni

· Seasonings: Salt and pepper goes into the sauce, while paprika is sprinkled over the topping.

1. Boil the noodles: Boil the macaroni in salted water until the noodles are al dente. Drain and transfer to a prepared baking dish.
2. Make the cheese sauce: Melt butter, then whisk in the flour. Whisk in the milk, bring to a simmer, and stir in the cheeses. Season with salt and pepper and continue simmering until the sauce is thick. Pour the sauce over the noodles and stir.
3. Make the topping: Spread the topping over the macaroni and cheese, then sprinkle with paprika.
4. Bake the mac and cheese: Bake in the preheated oven until the topping is golden brown. 

Spaghetti Bolognese:

Add hot water to a pot and add desired amount of fettuccine pasta and veg I like to add peas, corn, carrot and beans and add some salt. 


Add mince and oil I use venison to frying pan and add a pinch of salt, pepper, garlic, and ginger
Brown the mince before adding a handful of cheese and pasta sauce making sure to mix it all together. 

Once everything is cooked drain the pasta and veg and add the pasta to a bowl, mix the veg and meat together and place on top of the pasta sprinkling some cheese over top and enjoy
