  • 500 ml Semi-Skimmed Milk Switch to whole milk if you prefer

Instructions

  • Whisk the milk, dijon mustard and garlic together in a large jug.
  • Place the macaroni in a deep dish that’s suitable for use in your air fryer.

  • Mix well.
  • Place in the air fryer.

  • After 25 minutes, sprinkle on the remaining cheese.
  • Air fry for a further 5 minutes until the cheese is golden brown.
