Ingredients

  • 300g (2/3 lb) pasta (i used the classic elbow shaped pasta)
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 2-3 tbsp miso paste
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tbsp onion powder
  • chilli flakes, to taste
  • 3 tbsp plain flour
  • 3 cups milk, adjust to get desired texture
  • 1 tsp mustard
  • 250g (1/2 lb) brie cheese, remove rind
  • 250g (1/2 lb) cheddar
  • 250g (1/2 lb) colby jack or mozzarella

Instructions

  • Cook and drain your pasta according to packet instructions and set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 180C/350F.
  • In a pot over medium heat, melt your butter. Add in the miso paste and melt it into the butter, let it get a little toasty and fragrant, around 1-2 minutes. Add in your spices and toast for another 1-2 minutes.
  • Add in the plain flour and cook out the floury taste for 1-2 minutes. While whisking, slowly add in your milk - stir constantly to avoid lumps. You can add more or less milk to get to your desired texture. Add your brie cheese and 2/3rd of your cheddar and colby jack/mozzarella. Stir to melt the cheese and add in your mustard. Season if needed but the cheeses are already salty!
  • Add the drained pasta into your cheese sauce and stir well to combine. Transfer to a baking dish, top with the remaining cheese and bake for 20 minutes and then broil for 5 mins or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
