Ingredients
  

  • 300 g (~ 2 cups) uncooked macaroni
  • 650 ml (~ 2 1/2 cups) milk (full fat or semi-skimmed – not low fat)
  • 100 g grated cheddar cheese (~ 1 cup when grated)
  • 1 tsp minced garlic or garlic puree
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 200 g (~ 7 oz) block of feta cheese
  • 1/2 tsp dried mixed herbs
  • 1 large handful fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • ~ 8 good quality cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 75 ml (~ 1/4 cup) water (if needed)

Method
 

  1. Combine uncooked macaroni, milk, grated cheddar, minced garlic, and black pepper in an 8x8-inch baking dish and mix thoroughly. Place the feta block in the center on top of the pasta, then sprinkle with dried herbs and additional black pepper.
  2. Bake uncovered at 190°C (375°F) for approximately 30 minutes. Break up the feta with a spoon or spatula and stir thoroughly.
  3. Add chopped spinach and cherry tomatoes to the dish and stir. Add a splash of water if the mixture is too thick or the pasta needs more cooking. Return the dish to the oven for 10 minutes until the spinach wilts and the tomatoes are hot.

Notes

If you swap the macaroni for a larger pasta shape, it may take longer to cook, and may require a little more liquid. Check towards the end of the cooking time to see if it needs longer in the oven / an extra splash of water.
