INSTRUCTIONS

I omitted the tomatoes, without harm.  Cook the macaroni according to
the package instructions. Drain and set  aside.  Heat the oil in a
frying pan and fry the onion and garlic till soft.  Stir in the soya
mince or Quorn (if using) and tomatoes, and fry for  2-3 minutes. Add
the spices and herbs, and fry for a further minute.  Remove from the
heat and stir in the cheese and macaroni. Season to  taste and transfer
to a large square ovenproof dish.  Preheat the oven to 400F/200C. To
make the topping, melt the butter  in a pan, stir in the flour and cook
for 1 minute. Gradually add the  milk, stirring contantly until the
sauce begins to thicken. Remove  from heat and stir in the cheese.
Quickly add the beaten eggs and  yogurt, mix thoroughtly, season, then
pour over the macaroni mixture.  Bake for 30 minute, then allow to cool
for a few minutes. Cut into  squares and serve with a green salad.
