1. Melt the butter in a pan then stir in the flour. Keep cooking and stirring for 3 minutes then gradually whisk in the milk to give a smooth sauce. Add the garlic, simmer for 4 minutes, then fish out. Add the mustard, cheddar, gruyère, half the Grana Padano or parmesan and stir until melted. Season.
2. Heat the oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Cook the macaroni until just al dente then rinse under cold water and drain well. Mix with the sauce and divide between 4 ovenproof dishes. Scatter over the remaining Grana Padano or parmesan, then bake for about 15 minutes until golden and bubbling (flash under the grill for a minute if needed).

  I finely chopped and fried smoked streaky bacon and added it to the mixture at the end of Step 1 of the method.
