2. Melt the butter in a saucepan, add the flour and stir for 1 minute.
3. Gradually whisk in the milk and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes until thickened.
4. Off the heat, stir in three quarters of the cheese, salt, pepper and the nutmeg.
5. Mix the pasta into the sauce and pour into a baking dish.
6. Top with the rest of the cheese (and the breadcrumbs) and bake for 15 minutes until golden.

💡 Tip : A mix of cheeses, such as mature cheddar with a little Gruyère, tastes best.
