Method

  1. 1

    Cook the macaroni and diced potato together in a pan of boiling salted water for 8–10 minutes until both are tender, then drain.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, fry the bacon and onion in a dry pan until the bacon is crisp and the onion golden.

  3. 3

    Return the pasta and potato to the pan, stir through the cream and most of the cheese until melted and creamy, and season with nutmeg.

  4. 4

    Top with the bacon, onion and remaining cheese. Serve with a spoonful of apple sauce on the side.

Use up the rest

Cooking this for one leaves 240 ml double cream. These recipes finish them off, so plan one later in the same week.

Good with the rest of your week
