Spaghetti Lyonnaise Au Gratin

This is a simple dish. I like to serve it after a crisp salad. You can use whatever cheese you like, but I really like using Stilton as it adds such flavour.

• Ready In: 35 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 900  ml salt water
• 250  g spaghetti, broken
• 2  medium onions, chopped
• 2  teaspoons cornflour
• 1⁄2 teaspoon nutmeg, grated
• 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
• 2  tablespoons cold water
• 150  ml evaporated milk
• 75  g cheese, grated
• 2  tablespoons rolled oats
•  chopped parsley or  chives

Directions

1. Bring the water to the boil and drop in the spaghetti. After 5 minutes add the onion and continue cooking until the spaghetti is just soft.
2. Blend the cornflour, nutmeg and pepper with the water, then the milk, in a bowl. Add this to the spaghetti and boil for a further minute.
3. Pour into an oven proof dish, and top with the cheese and oats. Grill until the cheese is melted and the top is nicely browned.
