The app checks what's already in your fridge, prices it at your shop and runs the timers for you.

You'll need

  • Pasta350g
  • Leeks2
  • Sliced ham130g
  • Butter40g
  • Plain flour40g
  • Milk600ml
  • Cheddar150g
  • Mustard10g

Salt, pepper and oil from the cupboard. Amounts are for four; the app scales them for you.

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 200°C. Cook the pasta (350g) for 2 minutes less than the packet says (8 min). Drain.
  2. Melt the butter (40g) in a pan and soften the sliced leeks (2) (6 min).
  3. Stir in the flour (40g) for a minute, then gradually whisk in the milk (600ml). Simmer, stirring, until thick (5 min).
  4. Take off the heat and stir in most of the cheese (150g), the mustard (10g), the chopped ham (130g) and the pasta.
  5. Tip into a dish, top with the rest of the cheese and bake until golden and bubbling (20 min).

Can't find something? Doesn't matter. Swap it for something similar, it'll still be delish.
