Ingredients

    • 45g buffalo worms
    • 250g macaroni
    • 75g peas
    • 75g greek yoghurt
    • 250g cheddar cheese
    • 4 smoked bacon strips

Preparation

1

Pre-heat your oven to 180 ℃ and dry-roast your buffalo worms on a baking tray for around ten minutes or until they start to turn golden brown. Keep an eye on them as they can burn easily

2

Cook your macaroni pasta in salted boiling water. Once they’re ready, drain the pasta making sure you keep at least 100ml of the cooking water in a jug.

3

While your pasta cooks, dice the bacon into small pieces and cook in a frying pan until it turns crispy. Remove from the heat and pat any excess fat off with a kitchen towel.

4

In a large pan add the greek yoghurt, cheese and cooking water, stirring over a medium heat until the cheese has all melted. Now add the pasta, along with the bacon and buffalo worms. Mix thoroughly.
