INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 200c/400f/Gas 6.
You will need a shallow ovenproof baking dish with a base measurement of 8"
x 6"/20cm x 15cm and 2"/5cm deep, lightly buttered.
1 Weigh out all your ingredients and grate the cheese. Fill a large
saucepan with 2.25 litres/4 pint water with 1 dsp salt and boil on the
heat.
2 In a small saucepan melt the butter on a gentle heat, add the onions and
soften, without browning and uncovered for five minutes. Add the flour,
stir to make a smooth paste and slowly add the milk, a little at a time,
stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon.
3 Switch to a balloon whisk and keep whisking so you have a smooth sauce.
Add salt, black pepper and the nutmeg, and cook the sauce gently for five
minutes. Turn off the heat and whisk in the Mascarpone, egg yolks, followed
by the Gruyere and half the Parmesan.
4 Heat the baking dish in the oven, add the macaroni into the boiling water
and simmer for 4-6 minutes until al dente (it will cook again in the oven).
5 When it has a minute's cooking time left, whisk the egg whites to soft
peaks. Drain the pasta in a colander, shake to get rid of the water, tip
back into the pan and stir in the cheese sauce, evenly coating the pasta.
6 Lightly fold in the egg whites, using a cutting and folding movement so
as to retain as much air as possible.
7 Remove the warm dish from the oven, pour the pasta mixture into it, give
it a gentle shake to even the top and scatter over the reserved Parmesan.
Put the dish in the oven on a high shelf for 12 minutes or until the top is
puffy and lightly browned.
NB To make enough for four people, just double the ingredients and use a
10" x 8" x 2"/25.5 x 20 x 5cm dish. Increase the cooking time by 3-5
minutes.
