Cooking Instructions

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 180°c.
  2. To make the sauce, melt the butter in a medium saucepan and add the flour. Whisk to form a roux.
  3. Whilst whisking, pour in the milk and continue to whisk until the sauce is thick and smooth.
  4. Turn the heat down and allow to cook for 10 minutes, stirring every now and then to prevent lumps from forming.
  5. After 10 minutes, add the sour cream, vegetable purees, cheese and nutmeg.
  6. Season to taste and set aside.
  7. In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the macaroni until al dente.
  8. Before draining the macaroni, reserve 1 cup of the cooking water.
  9. Toss the drained macaroni with the hidden-veg sauce and add a little of the reserved cooking water if the macaroni seems dry.
  10. Transfer the macaroni to an oven-proof dish and top with the mozzarella.
  11. Place in the oven and allow to bake for 20 minutes until the cheese is golden.
  12. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
