Cook the macaroni in a large saucepan of boiling salted water for 8-10 minutes; drain well and set aside.

Melt the butter over a medium heat in a saucepan slightly larger than that used for the macaroni. Add the flour and stir to form a roux, cooking for a few minutes.

Add the macaroni to the sauce and mix well. Transfer to a deep suitably-sized ovenproof dish.

Sprinkle over the remaining cheddar and the Parmesan and place the dish under the hot grill.
