Ingredients
- 150g (5¼oz) dried macaroni
- 500ml just-boiled water from a kettle
- 1 tbsp sunflower or vegetable oil
- 150g (5¼oz) full-fat soft cheese (such as Philadelphia)
- 75g (2¾oz) mature cheddar, finely grated
- A pinch of ground paprika (optional)
- Freshly ground black pepper, for seasoning
Method
1. Put the pasta in a large, deep microwaveable bowl - it will need to hold at least 3 litres.
2. Place the dish or bowl on a plate, stir in the just-boiled water and oil, cover without sealing tightly and cook on high for 10 minutes (1000W), 11 minutes (800W), or until tender, stirring after 5 minutes. Take care when you remove the lid, as steam will billow out.
3. Drain the pasta, reserving the cooking liquid, then return the pasta to the bowl. Add 5 tbsp of the pasta water, the soft cheese and roughly ⅔ of the cheddar. Mix until this melts, forming a creamy sauce. Season with ground black pepper and sprinkle with the remaining cheddar and a pinch of ground paprika.
4. Cook uncovered on high for 2 minutes (1000W), 2½ minutes (800W), or until hot. Serve.
Notes:
A. If your microwave does not have a turntable, it is important to turn the food a few times to make sure it cooks evenly. Please take care when turning as the food will be hot so use oven gloves or tongs.
B. All microwave ovens may vary, the cooking times above are a guide.
