1 litre (4 cups) full cream milk
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp salt flakes
2 tsp chilli flakes
200 g cheddar, grated
200 g mozzarella, grated
100 g parmesan, grated
½ tsp pepper or to taste

¼ bunch parsley, finely chopped
1 tbsp chilli flakes
2 garlic cloves, crushed

60 ml (¼ cup) olive oil, approximately

METHOD

Béchamel sauce

1. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter on medium heat, induction setting 5.
2. Add the flour and cook until the flour slightly changes colour to achieve a blonde roux.
3. Whisk in the milk, Dijon mustard, salt and the chilli flakes, ensuring there are no lumps and bring to the boil on medium-high heat, induction setting 7.
4. Once boiled, reduce to low heat, induction setting 4 and cook for 20 minutes.
5. Whisk the cheese into the sauce until melted and season to taste with salt and pepper.
6. Reduce heat to induction setting 3. Place a piece of baking paper or cling wrap directly on the surface of the sauce and keep warm until ready for use.

Pasta

2. Drain pasta, add to the Béchamel sauce and mix well. Pour into a baking dish approximately 32 cm x 17 cm and top with the bocconcini.
3. Preheat the oven on Fan Plus at 180°C.
4. Scatter the topping evenly over the pasta and generously drizzle with olive oil.
5. Place into the oven on shelf position 2 and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until golden.
