Proudly supported by

Miguel knows his way around the kitchen so when he came to Men's Health HQ our grumbling tum's were roaring in excitement for what was in store. This delicious muffin recipe gives a healthy spin to the traditional mac 'n' cheese, it is packed with veggies and lots of flavour.

Ingredients

200g macaroni pasta

50g butter (for cheese sauce)

1/3 cup plain flour

500ml milk

250g grated cheese

200g baby spinach, wilted and roughly chopped

400g Swiss brown mushrooms, quartered

1 tbs olive oil

1 tbs butter

1/4 bunch of chives, finely chopped

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 180C fan-forced or 200C convection.    

  2. Cook macaroni in a large pot of salted water according to packet instructions.

  3. Sauté mushrooms in a medium saucepan with a splash of oil and a tbsp of butter till golden. Season and set aside (but don’t clean the pan).

  4. Start the cheese sauce by melting the butter in the same pan and add the flour.

  5. Cook, stirring for 1 minute over medium-low heat.

  6. Gradually add the milk, whisking until smooth. Stir gently until mixture comes just to the boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes.

  7. Remove from the heat and add grated cheese and stir until melted and smooth.

  8. Meanwhile, in a separate pan, wilt spinach with some olive oil and seasoning for 10-20 seconds. Drain excess water.

  9. Drain pasta and return to the pan. Pour the cheese sauce over the pasta, add mushrooms and spinach and stir until coated. Season, sprinkle with chives and pour into a lightly greased standard muffin tray. Bake for 10 minutes.

  10. Serve warm or cold whichever you prefer.

    Tip – To add more colour and nutrients, add one grated zucchini or beetroot to the muffins before baking.
