Easy
15 minutes 
45–60 minutes 1. Cook the pasta in boiling salted water until just al dente. Drain and toss with a little olive oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
2. To make the cheese sauce, melt the butter in a potjie over a medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes. Slowly whisk in the milk and cream, stirring until smooth and thickened.
3. Remove from the heat. Stir in the cheeses, mustard, paprika, salt and pepper until melted and creamy.
4. Mix the pasta with the cheese sauce in the potjie. Smooth the top.
5. Sprinkle over the breadcrumbs mixed with the melted butter, mushrooms, bacon bits, or jalapeños if using.
6. Place the lid on the potjie, pile hot coals on top and cook for 15–20 minutes, or until the top is golden and smoky.
7. Scoop straight from the potjie at the table.
