Ingredients

350g macaroni

2tbsp cornflour

2 garlic cloves, grated

2tbsp English mustard

500ml semi-skimmed milk

1/4tsp cayenne pepper, optional

200g leftover cheese, roughly chopped

200g pre-cooked leftover stuffing

Green salad leaves, to serve

Method

1
Heat oven to 220?/200? fan/gas 7. Cook the macaroni in a large pan of salted boiling water, 2 mins less than the cooking instructions on the pack state, drain and set aside until needed.
2
Meanwhile, make the sauce by putting the cornflour in a small bowl and mixing 4 tbsp cold water until it's dissolved into a thin paste.
3
Put the garlic, mustard, milk and cayenne, if using, into a large pan over a medium heat and bring to the boil, whisking occasionally. Turn down to a simmer and, while whisking, add in the cornflour paste. Simmer for 2 mins while whisking until it's thickened slightly.
4
Take off the heat and add in the cooked macaroni and 3/4 of the cheese along with a big crack of black pepper and pinch of flaky sea salt. Stir until the cheese is melted and coats the pasta.
5
Tip into a medium baking dish and crumble over the leftover stuffing and remaining cheese. Bake for 20-22 mins until it's golden and bubbling. Spoon onto plates to serve alongside some salad if you like.
6
Leftovers: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Can be reheated in the microwave.
