Macaroni Cheese

This is the most delicious macaroni cheese i have ever tasted.
Serves 4
Ingredients
1 Slice of wholemeal bread, cut into chunks
2 Tablespoons Butter, plus 1 Tablespoon melted
350g Macaroni or Penne pasta
1 Teaspoon garlic paste
1 Teaspoon thai spices paste (available from most supermarkets)
3 Tablespoons Plain flour
500ml Milk
300g Cheddar cheese

Method

1. Heat the oven to 200 degrees centigrade. Spread the chunks of bread over a small baking tray, drizzle with the melted butter and season to taste. Bake for 6 minutes until crisp, then set aside.
2. Boil the pasta for 2 minutes less than stated on the pack. Meanwhile, melt the remaining butter in a saucepan. Add the garlic paste and thai paste, then cook for 1 minute. Pour in the milk and whisk it into the butter. Gradually whisk in the flour and a pinch of salt until you bet a lump free sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes, whisking constantly until thickened. Take off the heat, then stir in the cheddar, leaving a handful for later.
3. Rinse the pasta, then pour into a large ovenproof dish. Stir the cheesy sauce into the pasta. Scatter over the bread, remaining cheddar and pepper to taste. Bake for 20 minutes until crisp and golden.
