Makes 6
Ingredients
250g dried penne pasta or macaroni
20g butter
1 tablespoon plain flour
3/4 cup milk
1 1/2 cups reduced-fat tasty cheese, grated
1/4 cup frozen peas
1 small red capsicum, finely diced
Method
Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease 6 x 3/4-cup capacity ovenproof
ramekins.
Cook pasta in a large saucepan of boiling salted water until
just tender. Drain and return to saucepan.
Melt butter in a small saucepan over high heat. Add flour
and cook for 45 seconds. Remove from heat and slowly add
milk, stirring constantly. Return to heat and cook,
stirring, until sauce comes to the boil. Reduce heat and
simmer for 3 minutes. Add 1 cup cheese and stir until well
combined and melted.
Stir sauce, peas and capsicum through pasta. Spoon into
ramekins. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake for 15 to 20
minutes or until cheese is golden.
Notes & tips
Note: Diced green capsicum is a suitable substitute if your
child won't eat peas.
