Cooking Instructions

HIDE IMAGES
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
Step 2
In a skillet, cook the Bacon (6 slices) . When crispy, drain on a paper towel lined plate and set aside. Reserve 4 tablespoon of the bacon grease. Cook the Penne Pasta (1 2/3 cups) in salted water according to package's instructions. Reserve 2 tablespoons of pasta water.
Step 3
In the same skillet, use the reserved bacon grease and sprinkle in Unbleached All Purpose Flour (1/4 cup) Whisk together for 3-5 minutes. The fat will absorb the flour to create a roux. Cooking will cook off the raw flour flavor.
Step 4
When the roux turns sandy beige, pour in the Half and Half (4 cups) . Whisk thoroughly to prevent any lumps.
Step 5
Keep whisking and add Ground Nutmeg (1/2 tsp) , Salt (to taste) , Ground Black Pepper (to taste) , and Unsalted Butter (2 Tbsp) .
Step 6
Take the skillet off the heat and stir in the Cheese (5 2/3 cups) , pasta water, and Egg (1) .
Step 7
Toss the cooked pasta in the cheese mixture.
Step 8
In a buttered dish, layer in pasta with crumbled bacon. Reserve some of the crumbled bacon for topping.
Step 9
Top with Panko Breadcrumbs (to taste) extra bacon and cheese.
Step 10
Bake at 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) for 20-25 minutes. Cover with tin foil for half the baking time.
Step 11
Broil for about 5 minutes to blister the cheese.
Step 12
Serve and enjoy!
