Mac 'n' Cheese

Macaroni and Cheese. We had to replace some ingredients (onions instead of garlic clove, curry ketchup instead of worcester sauce). Oh, and we also hadn't many macaronis left, so there is also a different kind of noodles in it. :D Still, it was pretty good. A friend from America told me that he was eating Mac 'n' Cheese and sent me a pic, that was the reason why I made it then :')


Recipe (for 8 persons):

Ingredients
45 g / 1,6 oz butter
3 tablespoons of flour
4 garlic cloves
6 bayleaves
1 Liter / 33,8  fl oz milk
600 g / 21,16oz macaronis or elbow pasta
8 tomatoes
150 g / 5,3 oz cheddar cheese
Thyme
Worcester sauce
Grated nutmeg
100 g / 3,53 oz Parmesan cheese
Olive oil

Boil the noodles in salt water. Melt the butter on a low heat, intersperse the flour and stir on a medium heat until the ingredients combine to a pasta. Add the garlic cloves. Then add the bayleaves and stir in the milk slowly with a wire whip, so that a smooth sauce develops. Boil it up once and then let it simmer on a low heat. Preheat the oven on 220 °C / 428 °F.
Cube, salt and pepper the tomatoes. Strain the pasta and put it into the sauce, then take the pot away from the cooker. Fold the cheese, the tomatoes and the thyme in. Add a bit nutmeg and worcester sauce. When needed, add a bit water.
Put the pot in the oven and let it bake 30 minutes.
