Ingredients
250g Asda Macaroni Pasta
200g Asda Original Soft Cheese
75g Mature Cheddar, grated
50g Asda Grated Mozzarella
1 tsp English Mustard
1 tbsp Milk
1–2 handfuls of Spinach
8 thick slices Asda Tiger Bloomer Bread
30g Butter
Method
1
Cook the macaroni according to packet instructions. Drain the pasta and return to the pan along with the soft cheese, cheddar, grated mozzarella, mustard and milk. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Stir together until the pasta is well-coated and the cheese begins to melt.
2
Put half a kettle of water on to boil and place the spinach in a sieve. Carefully pour the hot water over the spinach to wilt and allow to drain, then gently press to remove any excess moisture.
3
Divide the pasta mixture between 4 slices of bread, add the wilted spinach and top with the remaining slices of bread to form 4 sandwiches, giving each one a firm press down.
4
Melt half the butter in a large frying pan and place in the first two sandwiches. Fry for 2 mins over a medium heat until golden, then flip over and toast for a further 2 mins.
5
As you fry each one, place in a warm oven while you repeat the process.
6
Slice and serve with a crisp green salad with a tangy dressing and a few ripe tomatoes.
