step 1
Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Bring a large saucepan filled with water to boil. Once boiling, drop in the pasta (200 g) and cook for 8 minutes until al dente, then drain.
step 2
Reheat the saucepan with the butter (1 tbsp) over a medium-high heat. Add the prawns (1 pack) and cook for 3-4 minutes, until just pink. Remove the prawns from the pan and leave to one side.
step 3
Return the pan to the heat with the bechamel sauce (1 jar), tomato purée (1 tbsp), cayenne pepper (1 tsp) and thyme (2 sprigs). Bring to a simmer and season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and stir in the Emmentaler cheese (150 g) until fully incorporated.
step 4
Toss through the cooked macaroni and prawns. Pour into a baking dish and bake for 15 minutes, until golden brown and bubbling.
step 5
Meanwhile, make the salsa. Add the diced tomatoes (3) to a small mixing bowl with the shallots (2), jalapeños (1 tbsp), lemon juice (1) and coriander (15 g). Season to taste with salt and pepper.
step 6
When you are ready to serve, pop the garlic flatbread (1 pack) into the oven for 5 minutes to heat through.
step 7
Serve the mac and cheese with the salsa and garlic bread.
step 7 Serve the mac and cheese with the salsa and garlic bread.
