2. Preheat the oven to 230°C. Cook the Stortini pasta according to the packet instructions in a large pan of boiling salted water until al dente. In a saucepan melt butter, add flour and tomato paste and stir until you get a paste. Slowly add milk while stirring. Bring to a boil and let it simmer for 7 minutes. Add grated Castello® Mature Cheddar and stir until the cheese has melted and you get a nice smooth sauce. Drain the pasta, mix with the sauce and season with oregano, Cayenne pepper, salt and pepper.

Remove from the oven and add a layer of mac and cheese on top of the pizza. Top with slices of cheddar, pepperoni and halved cherry tomatoes. Bake an additional 10-15 minutes. Finish with fresh basil and serve immediately.
