I said hearty and comforting, and it doesn’t get any more indulgent than fried mac ’n’ cheese! You’re going to have to trust me with this one as it all sounds a little crazy – cooking the pasta for 1.5 hours and you’re still not allowed to eat it (what?!). But I promise you it works, with the result being a rich and oozy macaroni and cheese with a golden, crispy-fried cheese crust. Like a great toasted sandwich, only better. After a long day at work (or a big night out!) you’ll be so happy you’ve got this baby in the fridge, ready to hit the frypan and serve within 10 minutes. Plonk in a bowl, sit yourself on the couch and enjoy.
