This version of a comforting British classic combines a creamy sauce made with Kashar cheese (a Turkish semi-hard cheese) and fresh chili pepper, then bakes it until a crust forms. It is a hearty dish for serving from a large tray at parties.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Boil the pasta

10 min

Boil the pasta in salted water for one minute less than the time stated on the package, then drain.

2

Make the sauce

10 min

Melt the butter and add the flour. Pour in the milk a little at a time, stirring until the sauce thickens.

3

Add the cheese and pepper

5 min

Add the kashar cheese and hot pepper to the sauce and stir until melted.

4

Bake

15 min

Mix the pasta with the sauce and transfer it to an ovenproof dish. Bake in an oven preheated to 200°C / 390°F for fifteen minutes, until a crust forms on top.

Reminder

Stir continuously while bringing the sauce to a boil; otherwise it will stick to the bottom of the pan and form lumps. Allergens: contains gluten (pasta, flour) and dairy products (milk, kashar cheese).
