¼ tsp freshly ground pepper
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
½ tsp each of hot pepper sauce and grated nutmeg

Cook the macaroni in a large pot of boiling, lightly salted water.As soon as the macaroni is tender, pour it into a large sieve or colander, rinse it briefly with cold water, and leave it to drain.
Make the sauce while the macaroni is cooking….Melt the butter in a saucepan, add the flour and heat until it bubbles.Add the milk, a cup at a time, bringing to the boil and stirring constantly between additions.Stir in all the flavourings and the grated cheese and stir to combine, without reheating.Carefully stir the macaroni and sauce together, and turn into a well-buttered or sprayed 12 cup capacity shallow ovenware dish.
For the topping, melt the butter and remove from heat.Stir in the breadcrumbs and cheese and sprinkle over the surface of the macaroni cheese.
