Here is how you make Mac and Cheese--Jamie Inspired!:

Preheat your oven to 400?F. Cook the macaroni in a pan of salted boiling water 2 minutes short of the timing on the packet instructions, then drain in a colander and reserve a little of the cooking water. Grate or separate cheeses into smaller bits to make them melt better.Heat the margarine in a large heavy-based frying pan. When it melts completely, add your pasta, along with a couple of spoonfuls of the reserved cooking water, and the Parmesan, cheeses and tofu. Return to a medium heat and toss and stir around until most of the cheese has melted and you have a lovely gooey sauce ? you may need to add a little more of the reserved cooking water. Season to taste, then tip it all into an earthenware dish. Sprinkle nutmeg on top, and sprinke leftover Parmesan. Bake the macaroni cheese in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, finishing up with a quick whack under the grill, until golden brown and crispy on top.Enjoy!
