Preheat the oven to 190°c (170 fan/ 375F/ Gas 5).
Bring a pan of salted water to the boil and cook the pasta according to instructions.
300 g Macaroni
Whilst the pasta is cooking place a heat-proof bowl on top of the pan (making sure it doesn't directly touch the water) and stir together the creme fraiche, cheeses, dijon mustard and smoked paprika until they are all melted together. Take the bowl off the heat and place it to one side.
300 g Creme Fraiche, 150 g Extra Mature Cheddar, 30 g Parmesan, 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard, 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
Reserve 1 cup of pasta water to stir into the cheese sauce and then drain the pasta into a sieve. Pour the reserved pasta water into the cheese sauce a little at a time, and whisk until you get a glossy smooth sauce. You might not need the whole cup of the reserved water. Once you have your desired consistency stir in the pasta.
Spoon the cheesy pasta into an ovenproof dish and scatter over the breadcrumbs, Parmesan and dried Italian herbs.
5 tablespoon Panko Breadcrumbs, 20 g Parmesan, 1 teaspoon Dried Italian Herbs
Bake in the oven for 15 minutes until golden and bubbling.
