Paula McIntyre jazzes up a mac and cheese with meaty goodness

Mac and cheese used to be quite a boring affair — pasta bound in a thick cheese sauce and baked. Nowadays it’s been pimped beyond recognition with all manner of vegetables, duck confit, braised meats and even fish being added. Frankly, it’s a trend I can really buy into. In the recipe here I’ve added slow cooked beef short rib to the mix.
