I'm not sure to which category this mac and cheese recipe belongs, but it uses two East Anglian [[Cheeses|cheeses]] and one from Galicia in Spain. It also has the benefit of [[Roast garlic|roast garlic]] mixed in with it.

{{RecipeIngredients
| 20 ml [[Butter|butter]] or [[Olive oil|olive oil]]
| 2 tablespoons [[Plain flour|plain flour]]
| 300 ml semi-skimmed [[Milk|milk]]
| Large pinch [[Rock salt|rock salt]]
| Freshly [[Grated|grated]] [[Nutmeg|nutmeg]] and [[Black pepper|black pepper]], to taste
| 40 g [[Wells Alpine cheese]], chopped into small pieces
| 40 g Vintage [[Lincolnshire Poacher cheese]], chopped into small pieces
| 80 g [[Tetilla Cheese|tetilla cheese]], chopped into small pieces
| 2 bulbs [[Roasted garlic|roasted garlic]], squeezed
| 400g (14 oz) [[Macaroni|macaroni]] - dry weight

}}

===[[Mise en place]]===
* Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F - Gas Mk 7)
===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
| Melt the [[Butter|butter]] over a medium heat.
| Add the [[Flour|flour]], little by little, stirring constantly in a figure of 8 until thick and smooth - a balloon whisk is good for this.
| Reduce heat to low and cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally. Do not allow to [[Brown|brown]].
| Remove from heat and add the [[Milk|milk]] slowly - again stirring constantly in a figure of 8 until thick and smooth.
| Stir in the [[Salt|salt]], [[Nutmeg|nutmeg]] and [[Pepper|pepper]].
| Add the [[Cheeses|cheeses]] and allow them to melt, still over a low heat and stir from time to time and add the squeezed [[Garlic|garlic]].
| Bring some water to the [[Boil|boil]] and cook the [[Macaroni|macaroni]] for the time indicated on the packet.
| Meanwhile, using a stick [[Blender|blender]] or [[Food processor|food processor]], blitz the [[Sauce|sauce]] until it is smooth.
| Drain the [[Macaroni|macaroni]] and place in an [[Oven|oven]]-proof dish and pour the [[Sauce|sauce]] over it.
| Sprinkle with extra [[Cheese|cheese]]
| Bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes until the [[cheese]] has melted and the macaroni has crisped a little.

===Serving suggestions===
On its own or with [[Salad|salad]]. Even eat it cold for breakfast :-)
===Variations===
The [[Cheeses|cheeses]] can be substituted as none of them are that easy to get. For [[Wells Alpine]], you can use [[Gruyère]]; for [[Lincolnshire Poacher]], a good, strong [[Cheddar]] would be excellent. Tetilla is more difficult to substitute as it is quite a unique [[Cheese|cheese]]. You need something with a soft texture, but not of the [[Brie]] type. The nearest I can think of in texture, but not flavour, is [[Havarti]].
This is a VERY rich version of [[Macaroni cheese|macaroni cheese]] and it is not advisable to eat this too late in the evening! It can be thinned down with [[Vegetable stock|vegetable stock]] if you prefer it to be lighter or if you want it to be even richer, you can chuck in some [[Dry sherry|dry sherry]], [[Wine|wine]] or [[Cider|cider]].
===Chef's notes===
Just experiment with this recipe by adding whatever you like, such as [[Celery|celery]] [[Seeds|seeds]], [[Chillies|chillies]], [[Paprika|paprika]]
