This looks pretty impressive but so so easy and a family fav of ours. Fry onion and garlic in a large fry pan. Add a broken up smoked chicken with a large tub of Creme Fraiche. You can add some chopped parsley, Heat till warm. Stir through chopped avocado. I spoon it over cooked fresh Fettucine and top with toasted Pinenuts.
Another one is to follow the same process but instead of smoked chicken use fresh mussels and bacon, add some sweet thai chilli sauce to the creamy mixture to taste and top with grilled bacon and pine nuts over Penne or Fettucine. Yumbo. Serve with Green Salad and French Stick.

Heat olive oil & fry garlic. Add 2 tubs berry tomatoes and cook til burst. Add 500mg creme fraiche, lemon zest, toasted pine nuts & fresh flat leaf parsley. Toss through paprdelle and top with fresh parmesan shavings! Our family favourite!
Spread macaroni over base of large deep microwave safe dish, cover with boiling water; cook, uncovered, on HIGH for 10 minutes or until just tender, stirring twice during cooking. Drain macaroni, cover to keep warm. Combine butter, onions and garlic in large dish; cook on HIGH for 5 minutes. Stir in mince; cook on HIGH 10 minutes, stirring twice during cooking. Stir in flour, tomato paste and mustard; cook on HIGH for 2 minutes. Stir in milk, cook on HIGH 7 minutes, stirring twice during cooking. Stir in macaroni and half the combined cheeses and parsley. Top with remaining cheese and parsley mixture, cook on HIGH about 2 minutes or until cheese melts.
ps ... I sometimes do this the conventional way on the stove, make it before hand and then reheat later in the oven. Also I like more mustard in mine that the 1 tsp.

Alison Holst's Macaroni Cheese - 2-2. 5 cups of penne, macaroni or other 'robust' pasta, 25g butter, 3 cups grated Cheddar or Colby Cheese, 3 tablespoons flour, 1 teaspoon garlic salt, 3 cups boiling water. Tip the pasta into the slow cooker bowl. Melt the butter and pour over the pasta, stir to combine. Sprinkle the grated cheese, flour and salt and stir to mix. Pour in the boiling water and mix gentlyCover with the lid and cook on High for 2. 5-3 hours. If you're passing through the kitchen, stir gently every hour or so. Serve as you would any macaroni cheese and enjoy. You can reduce the heat to Low after about 2 hours and cook for a further 2-3 hours if desired, though the longer it cooks, the softer the pasta becomes. This is delicious and well worth trying!

This is probably going to be a dumb question, is TASTY ok to use i/o Cheddar or Colby for the Crockpot Maca? Thanks

Just a hint about the Alison Holst macaroni cheese - you might want to check it after 45 minutes on high.That's all it takes to cook in my slow cooker (Breville).Cooking it for 2.5 hours would turn it into mush.
