Cook the sauce

  • Heat the olive oil in a pot over a medium heat.
  • When it is hot, add the flour and cook, stirring, until it begins to bubble (approx. 1 minute).
  • Add the milk gradually, stirring briskly so that each portion is well mixed in without forming any umps (use a hand whisk is necessary).
  • Lower heat and continue to stir while the sauce thickens (approx. 5 minutes).
  • When the sauce has thickened, but is still pour-able, remove it from the heat and add the other sauce ingredients. Start with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Mix thoroughly, taste, and add extra of any ingredient if required.

Bake the macaroni

  • Add the cooked macaroni to the pan and mix well.
  • Transfer the macaroni and sauce to a baking dish, and sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the top.
  • Bake in the oven at 360°F until the top starts to brown.
  • Serve with a crisp green salad on the side.
