boil the water in a sauce pan until simmering. Add macaroni pasta-(I usually use half a packet for 4 of us).
cook as directed on the packet.
Mean while melt butter into a saucepan. Add 1tbsp of flour and stir to form a paste. cook for 1 minute. Then gradually add mild stirring all the time with a whisk. That is essential to avoid lumps. Once smooth and milk has been gradually added, add grated cheese and stir. Season with salt and pepper and add the grated nutmeg. Taste to check seasoning.
Once pasta is cooked then drain off the water. Fold in 3-4 tbsp of mascapone cheese until smooth. Add the pasta and stir until covered by the cheese sauce.
You can top with parmesan cheese and grill for a few minutes for a crispy topping.
