Another day, another Christmas party hangover. And there’s no chance of calling in sick when you’re mainlining mulled cider at Winter Wonderland all over Instagram, so you’re going to need to be prepared. Firstly, the age-old pint of water before you roll into bed will never do any harm and secondly, make this carb-heavy lunch the day before and take it with you in your time of need.
Mac’n’cheese is a widely accepted hangover lunch choice thanks to its comforting, carby pasta load and when paired with prodigious amounts of cheese, it becomes something greater than the sum of its parts. To stop you falling into a carb coma we’ve added cauliflower, kale and butternut squash as extra vessels for all that cheesy saucy ambrosia – plus the vitamins might even do you some good. The recipe below makes a giant portion for you to either go all out with, or save half for dinner, because no day can be bad when it involves double pasta… however brutal the hangover.
Ingredients
200g macaroni
30g butter
200ml milk
Handful grated Gruyere
Handful grated cheddar
Handful kale
A few cauliflower florets
60g butternut squash, roughly diced
Tsp English mustard
Method
