Finally, after randomly scouring the net last night I came upon a food blog, Lottie & Doof, and didn't realize I was exploring over it for nearly an hour. I was all drooling with the recipes and this one really tickled my fancy.
I guess this is considered the most delicate looking Macaroni and Cheese I have encountered. Im going to try this out one weekend because I cant keep my mouth on driveling. Honestly, Im conceding my craving for anything with cheese - gooey, blistering hot, melting queso.. Yummy!! Heck with my diet ..
Mac + Cheese (Lottie + Doof Style)
* 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
* 3 slices bacon, diced
* 1 cup of finely chopped yellow onion
* 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or less if you would like this with less spice)
* 2 small garlic cloves, minced
* 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
* 3 cups whole milk
* 3 cups coarsely grated sharp cheddar cheese, divided
* 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
* 4 ounces Mascarpone or cream cheese
* 3/4 cup panko (Japanese Breadcrumbs)
* 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
* 1 pound Penne
1.) Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in large deep skillet over medium-high heat.
2.) Add bacon and cook until crisp. Use a slotted spoon to remove bacon to paper towels to drain.
3.) Remove all but about 3 tablespoons of fat from the pan.
4.) Add onion and saute until tender, about 5 minutes.
5.) Add red pepper flakes and garlic, stir for 1 minute.
6.) Stir in 2 tablespoons butter, allow to melt, and then add the flour and stir for a minute.
7.) Gradually whisk in 3 cups of milk; simmer until thick enough to coat a spoon, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes.
8.) Remove from heat and whisk in 2 1/4 cups of cheddar and all of the Parmesan cheese and marscapone.
9.) Return bacon to sauce and season with salt and pepper.
Melt down 3 tbsp butter in big nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add panko and stir until light golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in parsley.
Preheat oven to 375 F. Lightly butter a 13×9x2 inch glass baking dish or similarly sized gratin dish. Cook pasta in large pot of boiling water until very al dente. Drain well. Toss pasta and cheese sauce and season again with salt and pepper, if needed.
Transfer mixture to prepared baking dish and top with remaining cheese and breadcrumbs. Bake until hot and topping is golden brown, about 30 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
