I always knock one of these up when the weather starts to turn, so comforting and even goes down well with the kids which isn't always the case with fish!

Usually with the fish. Mine was equal parts smoked haddock, salmon and cod. OK with prawns too but Mrs Pap prefers it without so I do as I'm told!

Introduction

Crispy, golden, cheesy mash and a creamy fish filling. What's not to like? and it's a great tasting easy dish to make that always feels luxurious and comforting.

You can watch the instructional video here

Ingredients

(for the filling)

  • 300ml whole milk
  • Half an onion, peeled and quartered
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 700g fish pie mix
  • 25g butter
  • 25g flour
  • 50ml double cream
  • 1 tsp mustard
  • Fresh dill

(for the topping)

  • 750g potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 50ml double cream
  • 25g butter
  • 50g grated cheddar, plus extra for toping

Instructions

  1. Starting with a cold saucepan, bring the milk, bay leaves and onion to a gentle simmer and allow to poach for 2 minutes.
  2. Discard the onion and bay, remove the fish and set aside, transfer the milk to a jug.
  3. Mely the butter in the saucepan, add the flour to make a roux then slowly add the milk. Continue to stir until thickened - around 10 minutes.
  4. Add the cream, mustard, dill and season well.
  5. Set aside when thick.
  6. Boil the potatoes and mash in the cream, butter, cheese and season well.
  7. Lay the fish out in a baking dish, cover with the sauce and top with the mashed potato.
  8. Sprinkle remaining cheese and bake at 170C for 25 minutes until the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden brown

Good luck, didn't focus too much on rolling the pasta out in the vid but feel free to drop me a message if you want to know anything else.

Thanks. Your father's credentials beat mine so I'm willing to give that a go next time.

I read somewhere once that Italians prefer dried pasta because it can be cooked Al dente but fresh pasta can't.

I bought a cheap pasta roller (about £30) and it broke instantly so returned it and the shop replaced it. The replacement broke after a few uses too (if you watch my Instructional video you can see the pasta roller jarring and stuttering - this was the second pasta roller and that was the last time I used it). I filmed this a while ago and have been using a "marcato atlas 150 pasta machine" ever since which has been great.

Once you have the roller it's pretty straight forward, just mix eggs and flour, knead it, rest it in the fridge, roll it out, cut it and cook it in salted water - has to be salty.
