Ingredients

400g macaroni pasta

40g unsalted butter

40g plain flour

1/4tsp mustard powder

750ml semi-skimmed milk

100g extra special red fox, grated

20g extra special parmigiano reggiano, finely grated

1 sprig chopped thyme

50g extra special mozzarella di bufala campana dop, torn

Method

1
Bring a large pan of water to the boil and cook the pasta according to pack instructions. Drain; set aside.
2
Meanwhile, preheat the grill to medium.
3
Melt the butter in a pan, add the flour and cook over a medium heat, stirring, for 1-2 mins until toasty smelling. Stir in the mustard powder.
4
Reduce the heat to low and add the milk, a splash at a time, whisking until smooth. Season with black pepper. Cook for 2-3mins, until slightly thickened.
5
Stir through half of the red fox cheese and all of the parmesan. Stir until completely melted.
6
Add the pasta to the pan and sprinkle over half of the thyme leaves, stirring to coat.
7
Add the torn mozzarella into the pan, gently stirring until combined. Tip into a 22cm x 26cm baking dish. Scatter over the rest of the red fox.
8
Cook under the preheated grill for 8-12 mins, until bubbling and golden brown. Garnish with the rest of the thyme and leave to sit for 5 mins before serving.
