Spanish food recipes - Cazuela de macarrones (Pasta Casserole)

You will need
400g macaroni pasta
250ml warm milk
150g grated full flavoured cheese (aged Mahon, Manchego or Parmesan)
4 hard boiled eggs
cinnamon
150g butterCook the pasta according to instructions for approximately half the stated time. Drain and return to the pan along with the warm milk and continue to cook it on a slow simmer. By the time the pasta is done most of the milk should have been absorbed. Put into a buttered oven proof dish and stir in the grated cheese, keeping a little back to top off the dish, and a pinch of cinniamon. Place the halved hard boiled eggs within the pasta, sprinkle on the remaining cheese and a little more cinnamon. Either place under a low grill or in a medium oven to heat through and lightly brown the topping. Serves 4.
