Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Boil the macaroni in a large pan of salted water for 5 minutes. Drain well, then tumble into a large bowl along with the ham hock, warm cheese sauce and parsley. Season, then spoon evenly between 2 individual ovenproof dishes. Scatter with the Parmesan and bake in the oven for 20 minutes until golden and piping hot.
  2. Meanwhile, preheat the grill to medium. In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the anchovy paste and ½ tbsp oil. Spread out on a baking sheet, then grill for 3 minutes until golden and crisp. Scatter over the baked macaroni before serving.
