with crispy breadcrumb topping
Rigatoni replaces macaroni in this elevation of a childhood favourite: mac and cheese. Luckily, the shape and structure of rigatoni make it the perfect vessel for the creamy, cheesy sauce that features in this recipe.

Cooking Steps
1
- Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.
- Boil a large pot of salted water for the pasta.
- Slice the tomatoes into ½ cm rounds.
- Roughly chop the chives (use scissors if you prefer).
- In a small bowl mix the breadcrumbs with the Italian style hard cheese and 2 tbsp oil (double for 4p).
TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.
2
- When the water is boiling, add the pasta then bring back to the boil.
- Cook until softened, 12 mins.
- Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pot, off the heat.
- Drizzle with oil and stir through to prevent sticking.
3
- Meanwhile, place a separate pot over medium-high heat with 2 tbsp oil or butter (double for 4p).
- When hot, stir in 3 tbsp flour (double for 4p). Cook until a paste forms, 1-2 mins.
- Gradually stir in 250ml milk or water (double for 4p), along with the paprika and muscat.
- Simmer until thickened, stirring constantly, 1-2 mins.
- Once reduced, remove the pot from the heat.
4
- Add the creme fraiche, grated cheese and half the chopped chives to the pot.
- Allow the cheese to melt. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Mix the drained pasta through the sauce along with the sliced tomato. Loosen the sauce with a splash of milk or water if necessary.
- Transfer to an oven dish. Top with the breadcrumb mix.
- Bake on the top shelf of the oven until the breadcrumbs are golden and the cheese is bubbling, 6-8 mins.
5
- Trim the root tip and green stalks of the fennel. Halve the fennel then thinly slice.
- In a large bowl for the salad, mix 2 tbsp oil (double for 4p) together with the red wine vinegar.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Just before serving, toss the fennel and salad leaves through the dressing.
6
- Divide the cheesy pasta between plates or bowls.
- Garnish with the remaining chopped chives.
- Serve the fennel salad alongside.
