Ingredients

  • 200g bacon, chopped
  • 300g closed-cup mushrooms
  • 150g cheddar cheese, grated
  • 500ml milk
  • 500g bag fusilli pasta
  • 150g fresh or frozen peas
  • 50g plain flour
  • 50g butter

Method

  • Step 1

    Cook the pasta and peas according to pack instructions and set aside. Pre-heat the oven to 200°C / fan 180°C / Gas 6. Fry the mushrooms with a knob of butter for 2 minutes and spoon onto a plate. Fry the chopped bacon for a further 4 minutes and leave to one side.

  • Step 2

    Melt remaining butter in the saucepan, stir in the flour and gradually add milk. Increase heat and let the sauce bubble until thickened. Stir in most of the cheese. Alternatively, to save time, use a 600ml jar of basic cheese sauce.

  • Step 3

    Tip the pasta, mushrooms and bacon into a large ovenproof dish. Pour over the sauce and mix with peas. Top with remaining cheese and bake for 10 minutes until golden brown.
