Ingredients

  • 500 g dried elbow macaroni or penne
  • 500 ml double cream
  • 200 g cheddar, grated, plus extra for the topping
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Smoked paprika, to taste

Method

Cook the pasta in lightly salted boiling water until al dente. Drain well.

Return the Grano wok to a low heat. Add the double cream, butter and most of the cheddar, reserving a little cheese for the topping.

Season with black pepper, smoked paprika and salt as needed. Stir gently until the cheese has melted into a smooth sauce.

Add the drained pasta and fold it through the sauce until evenly coated.

Scatter the reserved cheese over the top. Place the oven-safe wok under the grill until the cheese has melted and the surface is golden.

Serve while hot.
