    • You add a bit of flavour, so add the mustard, a pinch of nutmeg and three-quarters of the cheese, and season with sea salt and ground black pepper. Mix  until the cheese has melted. Pour the cheese sauce over your pasta  and mix through until everything is combined.
    • Pour the pasta in  the baking dish, sprinkle with the remaining cheese and put in the oven to cook for 25 minutes or until the top is turning gold and the sauce is bubbling up the sides. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving .
