Ingredients
1 tbsp of vegetable oil
200g Clonakilty Blackpudding
500g macaroni
60g unsalted butter
60g plain flour
700ml warm milk
200g grated strong cheddar
50g grated Parmesan
40g grated mozzarella
10g chopped parsley
Handful of toasted breadcrumbs
Method
1. Heat a frying pan and add the oil. Crumble in the Clonakilty Blackpudding, breaking it up between your fingers.
2. Fry until crispy and put aside on a plate lined with kitchen paper.
3. Boil the macaroni in plenty of salted water for 8-9 minutes, drain and set aside. Add a splash of oil or butter to stop it sticking together.
4. In a nonstick saucepan on a medium heat, melt the butter and add the flour.
5. With a small whisk, cook the flour and butter together for a few minutes until the colour darkens a little.
6. Add the milk, a little by little, and continuously whisk. Do not worry about lumps.
7. Once all the milk is added, continue to whisk until all the lumps are cooked out.
8. Add the grated cheese and stir until you have a smooth sauce.
9. Add the macaroni and season with a little salt.
10. Serve up the macaroni and top each portion with toasted breadcrumbs, parsley and Clonakilty Blackpudding.
