Ingredients   75g butter 1 tsp garlic salt 2 cups (200g) macaroni, kiferi, lisci or sprils, 2 cups boiling water 1 cup milk 2 cups grated cheese 1 Tbsp flour

Directions

If you like crisp topping, make it before you cook the macaroni cheese. Microwave a measure of 2 cups fresh breadcrumbs, 1 Tbsp melted butter and 1 Tbsp chopped parsley until crumbs turn golden, 2-4 minutes.

Cut butter into 9 cubes. Melt in fairly large, flat-bottomed microwave dish, about 1 minute on High (100% power). Stir in garlic salt and macaroni, or any other shape of pasta that holds a lot of sauce, e.g. lisci or spirals. Pour boiling water over pasta.

Cover. Cook at Medium (50% power) for 10-15 minutes, until pasta is tender, stirring every 5 minutes. Stir in milk immediately. Mix grated cheese with flour. Stir into hot pasta mixture. Stir gently for 30-60 seconds until cheese melts.

Microwave 2 minutes or until mixture bubbles all round edge. Stir again. Leave to stand 3 minutes Sprinkle with prepared crumbs. If desired.
