Mac and cheese: An old favorite gets a new twist I pull out my old "Better Homes and Gardens Cook Book" that my mom and dad gave me when I was in high school. I love macaroni and cheese, especially the mass produced version that you often find in buffets. So I'm always on the lookout for a good mac and cheese recipe. Just before serving (and while still hot), stir in the salsa.

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.

I was amazed when I realised that mac 'n cheese (I hate 'n) was an actual dish which was a favourite in restaurants - it seems just a pit together from bits sort of a home dish, but maybe tat's why it's a favourite. We only ever had macaroni or spaghetti at home - and not often spaghetti unless it was Heinz spaghetti in a tin. This is my favorite macaroni-and-cheese recipe. When done right, it is heaven. When done wrong, it is indeed "meh" or worse.
