Ingredients

• 8oz Macaroni,

Method

Boil the chicken stock and season to taste.   Add the macaroni and cook it until it is al dente.   Once cooked, drain the macaraoni, reserving the stock for later.

Transfer to an (oven ready) serving dish, scatter the remaining cheese on top and grill for 5 minutes until brown and bubbling.    Serve immediately with black pepper.

For a vegetarian option

Replace the chicken stock with vegetable stock and (if not french) remove the lardons.
