Preparation

Pizza dough

Macaroni Cheese

Preheat the oven to 230°C. Cook the Stortini pasta according to the packet instructions in a large pan of boiling salted water until al dente. In a saucepan melt butter, add flour and tomato paste and stir until you get a paste. Slowly add milk while stirring. Bring to a boil and let it simmer for 7 minutes. Add grated Castello® Tickler Mature Cheddar and stir until the cheese has melted and you get a nice smooth sauce. Drain the pasta, mix with the sauce and season with oregano, Cayenne pepper, salt and pepper.

Divide the dough into two portions and roll out thin. Place each rolled out dough in a deep pan and bake for 5 minutes at 230°C. Remove from the oven and add a layer of macaroni cheese on top of the pizza. Top with slices of cheddar, pepperoni and halved cherry tomatoes. Bake an additional 10-15 minutes. Finish with fresh basil and serve immediately.
