Method
1
First, put the peas out to thaw. Now turn on the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6.

Heat a large pan of water until boiling. Add the macaroni, stir once, then return to the boil and simmer fast for 10 mins.

Grate the cheese onto the chopping board. Mix in with the pasta and peas. Turn into an ovenproof dish.
