Macaroni Cheese

This is no ordinary macaroni cheese. Forget lumpy white sauce... This recipe is one my mum had, I don't know where she got it from, but it's definitely worth passing on. Serves 2.

200g macaroni
1 onion (finely chopped)
1 clove garlic (finely chopped)
squirt of tomato paste
thyme (dried or fresh)
100g Gruyère cheese (grated)
1 egg yolk
butter or olive oil
salt/pepper

Cook the macaroni according to the packet. Meanwhile, fry the onion and garlic with the thyme for about 5 mins until soft. Towards the end of the frying add the tomato paste and stir in. Once the pasta is cooked, add to the onions with the grated cheese and egg yolk and stir quickly. This allows the cheese to melt. Season to taste. Serve with a green salad.
