If you want to make macaroni and cheese or mac and cheese, you need ½ pound of pasta, 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter, 4 tablespoons of flour, salt and pepper to taste, 2 cups of warm milk, 1 cup of grated cheddar, 1 cup of grated mozzarella cheese, ½ cup of grated Parmiggiano Reggiano, ¼ cup of bread crumbs, 4 ounces of pancetta, and 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Cook your macaroni according to the package instruction and preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
While waiting, sautee the pancetta with oil over medium heat and then set aside. In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, add the flour, and cook for about a minute. Add the milk while constantly stirring and cook for about 5 minutes. Season it with salt and pepper and then remove from heat. Add the cheddar, half of Parmiggiano Reggiano, mozzarella and stir until completely melted.
Add the cooked pasta and mix until well combined. Place the combined ingredients in a casserole dish and sprinkle with the remaining half of the Parmiggiano Reggiano and bread crumbs and bake for about 25 minutes or until the top becomes golden. Serve and enjoy!
