Ingredients

• 250g macaroni
• 300ml whole milk
• 30g butter
• 30g plain flour
• 65g mature cheddar, grated
• 1 tsp English mustard

Method

1. Heat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and prepare an air fryer basket for use.
2. Cook the macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
3. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the plain flour and whisk to combine. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
4. Gradually add the whole milk, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until it thickens.
5. Remove the sauce from the heat and stir in the grated cheddar until melted. Add the English mustard and mix well.
6. Combine the cooked macaroni and cheese sauce in an air fryer-safe dish. Mix until the pasta is well coated.

8. Serve hot and enjoy.
