Step 1

Pre heat oven to 200 degrees fan

Step 2

Heat some oil in a pan (about ½ tbsp). add the spring onions, garlic and pepper flakes. Cook for a couple of minutes. Add the courgette and cook for a further 5 minutes. Take off the heat and set aside.

Step 3

In a saucepan melt the butter. Add the flour and give it a good stir. Cook out the flour for a couple of minutes moving it so it doesn’t burn. Add the milk and keep whisking until smooth until its thickened for about 5 minutes. Stir in the nutmeg, cheddar and ½ the parmesan cheese. Add a crack of pepper. Taste and adjust salt to taste. Stir in the pasta.

Step 4

In an oven proof dish, pour in the pasta mixture. Then add your courgette mixture in another layer. Sprinkle over the breadcrumbs and remaining parmesan. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until bubbling and breadcrumbs have gone brown. Serve and enjoy 😊
