Ingredients

350g macaroni
25g flour
25g butter
Pinch of mustard powder
500ml single cream
1 clove crushed garlic
250g Rock Star; grate 200g and cut the remaining 50g into small cubes
Flour for dusting
1 egg, beaten
500g breadcrumbs

METHOD

Cook the pasta until al dente, remove and drain. Useful tip: rinse the pasta under boiling water to avoid pasta sticking together.
Combine the flour, butter and mustard to make a paste.
Bring cream to a gentle simmer. Gradually add the paste and crushed garlic, stirring continuously on a simmering heat until the flour has cooked through (taste to check).
Add grated Rock Star cheese and pasta and season to taste.
Transfer to a baking tray and cool in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Divide into balls, push a cube of Rock Star cheese into each then form into neat balls, making sure cheese is well encased.
Dust each ball in flour, then egg, then roll gently in breadcrumbs. Roll each ball back into egg and dip again in breadcrumbs.
Deep-fry until golden and cooked through. Do this a few at a time, draining them on kitchen roll and keeping them warm until all the bites are cooked. Serve immediately.
