-
Blend together all the
ingredients for the breadcrumbs in a food processor until
roughly chopped, season, then set aside. Boil the macaroni
1 min less than the time on the pack, drain, toss in teh
olive oil and set aside.
-
Tip the onion, milk and teh
smoked haddock into a pan and season. Simmer gently for 10
mins, then remove the haddock. Flake the flesh and drizzle
with the truffle oil and set aside.
-
Mix the butter and flour
together to make a paste. Over a low heat , whisk the
paste into the hot milk and bring to the boil, stirring
all teh time. Remove from the heat and add half the grated
cheese and stir well.
-
Take the pan off the heat ,
tip the pasta into teh sauce and mix well, then fold
through the haddock and season with ground black pepper.
The sauce may seem a little thin, but it'll thicken as it
cooks. Butter a large ovenproof dish and tip in all the
macaroni, then finish by scattering over the rest of the
cheese and most of the breadcrumbs. This can be prepared a
day ahead, covered and kept in the fridge.
-
To cook, heat the oven to
200C/ 180C Fan/ Gas 6. Bake for 20 mins until bubbling and
sprinkle with the rest of the breadcrumbs. Bake for 5 mins
more, then drizzle more truffle oil on top, and scatter
some extra herbs, if you like.
