Cut four or five tomatoes of equal size into halves, and place them in a baking tin with a small piece of butter on each, and dust them with black pepper and nutmeg. Bake from fifteen to twenty minutes. Have ready six ounces of macaroni, boiled and hot, place this in a circle on a hot dish, arrange the tomatoes inside this, and pour over the macaroni a rich cheese sauce. Serve very hot.
