To get started with this recipe, we must first prepare a few components. You can have my favourite macaroni cheese using 11 ingredients and 9 steps. Here is how you cook that.

The ingredients needed to make My Favourite Macaroni Cheese:
  1. Take 250 g macaroni or pasta of choice (I love Rigatoni)
  2. Take 50 g baguette, cut into small chunks
  3. Prepare 1 tbsp butter, melted
  4. Get 40 g butter
  5. Take 40 g plain flour
  6. Get 600 ml whole milk
  7. Prepare 1 tsp freshly ground nutmeg
  8. Take 180 g strong cheddar cheese, grated
  9. Prepare 90 g Gruyere cheese, grated
  10. Prepare 50 g Parmesan, finely grated
  11. Make ready 150 g streaky bacon or pancetta, cut into strips/cubes
Steps to make My Favourite Macaroni Cheese:
  1. Heat oven to fan 180C. Spread 50g baguette chunks over a baking sheet, drizzle with 1tbsp melted butter and season.
  2. Bake for 6 minutes or until crisp, then set aside.
  3. Cook the pasta in a large saucepan of boiling salted water for 1 or 2 minutes under the recommended package cooking time (around 8-9 minutes). Drain well and set aside.
  4. Fry the streaky bacon/pancetta in a non-stick frying pan until just about crispy. Remove from the heat and set aside while you make the sauce.
  5. For the cheese sauce: heat the butter in a medium saucepan on a low heat until melted. Stir in the flour using a hand whisk and cook for around 10 minutes, stirring continuously until the flour is ‘cooked out’. The consistency will change to a thinner ‘sauce’ and the colour may go slightly caramel. This is when you know it is ready to add the milk.
  6. Gradually whisky in the milk, splash at a time until all the milk has been mixed in and the sauce is thickened. Meanwhile, preheat the grill to hot
  7. Turn the heat down to low on the sauce, and add 45g of the gruyere and 130g of the cheddar, a tsp of nutmeg nutmeg and stir until it is well combined and melted.
  8. Add the pasta to the sauce and mix well. Transfer to a deep, suitably-sized ovenproof dish.
  9. Scatter over the bread and the remaining cheese and the parmesan and place the dish under the hot grill. Cook until the cheese is browned and bubbling. Serve straight away.
