## Ingredients
|
|
|
|
- 300-400g Pasta (Fusilli recommended but not essential)
|
|
- 50g Butter
|
|
- 100g Flour
|
|
- 200ml Milk
|
|
- 400g Cheddar Cheese
|
|
- 6 Rashers of bacon (optional)

## Directions
|
|
|
|
1. Grate the cheese.
|
|
2. Chop up the bacon into roughly 2cm x 2cm squares.
|
|
3. Start [cooking the pasta](pasta.html).
|
|
4. Start melting the butter in another saucepan.
|
|
5. Once melted, add flour and mix until the mixture forms a paste that does not stick to the sides. The quantity of flour required may vary.
|
|
6. Now start adding the milk slowly, while mixing, as to avoid lumps.
|
|
7. Heat on low heat while stirring until the sauce becomes thick. If unsure, taste the sauce, and if you cannot taste the flour, it is ready for the next step.
|
|
8. Add 80% of the cheese and stir until melted in.
|
|
9. Drain the pasta and add to baking dish.
|
|
10. Add the sauce and mix in.
|
|
11. If using bacon, fry it up and mix into the dish, making sure to include any fat that comes out of the bacon for extra flavour.
|
|
12. Use the rest of the cheese to cover the top.
|
|
13. Bake at gas mark 6 for about 30 minutes.
