Step by step
Get ahead
Prepare up to the end of step 4 a few hours ahead and chill. Allow an extra 10 minutes' cooking time.
- Preheat the oven to 190°C, fan 170°C, gas 5. Cook the macaroni in a pan of lightly salted boiling water for 7 minutes, until al dente. Drain and return to the pan.
- Meanwhile, dry-fry the chorizo in a frying pan for 5 minutes until it has browned and the fat is released. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the onion and garlic to the frying pan and cook gently for 5 minutes until soft.
- Stir the crisped chorizo and the onion mixture into the drained macaroni, adding the cream, 100g of the diced Chaource and a little salt and pepper. Heat gently, stirring, for 2-3 minutes until everything is warmed through and the cheese has melted.
- Spoon the mixture into 4 x 300ml ovenproof dishes, or an 18cm x 18cm baking dish with a capacity of around 1 litre. Dot with the remaining Chaource and scatter over the Parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until bubbling and golden. Serve with a crisp green salad on the side.
