Peel and crush garlic. Add macaroni, garlic, 400ml water and ½ teaspoon sea salt to an ovenproof frypan with a lid and bring to the boil over medium-high heat. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for 8 minutes.
Meanwhile, place cornflour and 20ml (1 tablespoon) water in a bowl and stir until smooth. Add cream, Dijon mustard, parmesan, ½ the mozzarella, ¼ teaspoon salt and pepper and mix to combine.
Preheat overhead grill to high. When macaroni is cooked, stir through butter and creamy sauce.
Sprinkle panko breadcrumbs and remaining mozzarella over macaroni and place under grill for 6–7 minutes or until cheese and crumbs are golden.
Toss salad leaves with your favourite salad dressing.
Divide macaroni and cheese between bowls and serve with salad.
