Instructions

Step 1
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C Fan/Gas 6.
Step 2
  • Add the sweet potato, cauliflower, broccoli and red pepper to a baking tray with the olive oil, salt and black pepper. Spread in an even layer and bake for 20 minutes, turning the vegetables half way through.
Step 3
  • Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. Add the macaroni and cook according to packet instructions. Drain and set aside.
Step 4
  • In a large sauce saucepan, over a medium-high heat, melt the Arla LactoFREE Slightly Salted Spreadable butter. Once melted, stir through the plain flour to create a roux. Gradually add the Arla LactoFREE Semi-Skimmed Milk, stirring constantly to create a thickened smooth sauce.
Step 5
  • Add the Arla LactoFREE Cheddar Cheese, mustard powder and ground nutmeg, stir-ring to combine. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 6
  • Add the roasted vegetables and macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir to combine. Transfer the mixture to an ovenproof baking dish and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden.
Enjoy!
Tip

Gluten free pasta works well too if desired.

Tip

You can also use white potato if you don’t have sweet potato.

Tip

Swap mustard powder for Dijon mustard if desired.
