This easy recipe uses up the leftover cheeseboard ingredients well and makes a lovely medley of flavours.
500g pasta of choice
1 tsp olive oil
850ml milk
50g butter
50g plain flour
Half a nutmeg (or ¼ tsp ready ground)
85g mature cheddar, or other hard cheese
85g blue cheese
85g garlic and herb cheese
200g cooked ham, chopped
A handful of parsley, roughly chopped
Preheat the oven to 190°C / 375°F / Gas mark 5.
Grease a baking dish with a little butter and set aside.
Cook the pasta according to the instructions, drain and return to the cooking pot with a teaspoon of olive oil then stir.
To make the sauce, pour the milk into a pan and add the butter, flour, salt and pepper.
Grate in the half nutmeg (or sprinkle in the ready ground).
Bring to the boil over a medium heat, whisking all the time until it makes a smooth, creamy sauce.
Tip the sauce over the pasta then stir in the ham and grate in the cheddar.
Pour into the prepared baking dish.
Dice the remaining cheeses and swirl into the pasta.
Scatter the parley over the pasta and bake in the oven for 30 minutes until everything is piping hot.
