An experienced and highly skilled team of food writers, stylists and digital content producers, the Good Housekeeping Cookery Team is a close-knit squad of food obsessives. Cookery Editor Emma Franklin is our resident chilli obsessive and barbecue expert, who spends an inordinate amount of time on holidays poking round the local supermarkets seeking out new and exciting foods. Senior Cookery Writer Alice Shields is a former pastry chef and baking fanatic who loves making bread and would have peanut butter with everything if she could. Her favourite carb is pasta, and our vibrant green spaghetti is her weeknight go-to. Lover of all things savoury, Senior Cookery Writer Grace Evans can be found eating crispy corn and nocellara olives at every opportunity, and will take the cheeseboard over dessert any time (though she cannot resist a slice of tres leches cake). With a wealth of professional kitchen know-how, culinary training and years of experience between them, they are all dedicated to ensuring every Good Housekeeping recipe is the best it can be, so you can trust they’ll work (and if they don’t – we’ll have the answer for why*) every time (*90% of the time the answer is: “buy an separate oven thermometer”!).

Pulled Pork Mac ‘n’ Cheese
Pulled pork isn’t just for serving in buns. Top oozy, three-cheese sauce pasta with rich BBQ pulled pork and crunchy breadcrumbs for the ultimate sofa supper.
Ingredients
- 125 g
(4oz) unsalted butter
- 400 g
(14oz) pasta shape, we used Tortiglioni
- 500 g
(1lb 2oz) ready-made pulled pork with BBQ sauce, shredded
- 1 tsp.
olive oil
- 100 g
(3 ½oz) plain flour
- 1 l
(1 ¾ pint) milk
- 2 Tbsp.
wholegrain mustard
- 200 g
(7oz) grated Gruyère
- 150 g
(5oz) grated mature Cheddar
- 150 g
(5oz) grated mozzarella
- 50 g
(2oz) breadcrumbs
1-2 jalapeños, sliced
Directions
- Step 1
Cook the pasta in a large pan of salted boiling water to pack instructions. Drain and toss in oil to prevent it from sticking. Set aside.
- Step 2
Cook the ready-made pulled pork to pack instructions, then shred with two forks and set aside.
- Step 3
Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan) mark 6. Melt the butter in a large pan, add the flour and whisk until smooth, and then cook for 2min on a low heat. Take off the heat and add the milk in several additions, whisking to make a smooth mixture after each addition. Put the sauce back on the heat, bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 4-5min, whisking constantly until thickened. Remove the pan from the heat and stir through the mustard, Gruyere, Cheddar and 100g (3½ oz) of the mozzarella, season well.
- Step 4
Add the pasta to the cheese sauce and stir to combine. Tip the mixture into a large, deep roasting tin or ovenproof dish (approx. 3litre/5 1/4pint) and top with the pulled pork in an even layer. Sprinkle over the breadcrumbs mixed with the remaining mozzarella and bake for 20-25min until golden and bubbling. Top with jalapeño slices, and serve.
