Let’s dive into the recipe that’s turned my husband into a fan, and now it’s a favorite in our home.
### Ingredients:
– **For the Pasta:**
– 1 lb elbow macaroni (or your favorite pasta shape)
– Salt (for the pasta water)
– **For the Cheese Sauce:**
– 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
– 3 cups whole milk (or half-and-half for extra creaminess)
– 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional, but adds great flavor)
– 1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– ¼ teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for added flavor)
– **For the Bacon:**
– 6 slices of bacon (thick-cut for extra crunch)
– 1 tablespoon of olive oil (for frying)
– **For Topping (Optional):**
– Extra shredded cheese
– Fresh chopped parsley (for garnish)
### Instructions:
1. **Cook the Pasta:**
– Start by cooking the elbow macaroni (or your chosen pasta) according to the package directions. Be sure to salt the water generously so the pasta absorbs the flavor as it cooks. Once cooked, drain the pasta and set it aside. You can toss it lightly in a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
2. **Cook the Bacon:**
– In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the bacon slices and cook them until they’re crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side, depending on thickness. Once done, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cooled, crumble or chop the bacon into small pieces and set aside.
