5. Add the chopped leeks, smoked chicken, cheese and Worcester sauce. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and add a pinch of nutmeg to finish.
6. Take off the heat, stir in the macaroni and transfer the mixture to an ovenproof dish. Bake for 15 minutes and then serve immediately.

I made this tonight, it was very nice, but I couldn't find smoked chicken, so I used the cooked stuff instead, seemed to work! The recipe is a little large for two, unless you are REALLY hungry I guess.
