Macaroni pie doesn’t sit entirely well with plans for a healthy January.

I’m trying to lose weight, and I should certainly avoid a recipe that features fatty cheese, pasta and double cream. But in terms of fun and simple indulgence, this does fit the bill. It’s a bit like going into a restaurant and ordering pizza and mac ‘n’ cheese.
