Ingredients
- 8 ounces pancetta cut into small pieces
- 1 pound Gremelli
- 4 cups milk
- kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ½ cup smoked gouda shredded using the mini KitchenAid® Mini Food Processor
- ½ cup gouda shredded using the mini KitchenAid® Mini Food Processor
- Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
Topping
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 shallots diced
- 2 garlic cloves smashed
- Leaves from ¼ bunch fresh thyme
Instructions
- Preheat KitchenAid® Compact Oven to 350 degrees F.
- In medium saucepan, sauté the pancetta until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. In the same medium skillet, over medium high heat, add milk, raw elbow macaroni, 1 teaspoon salt and butter. Slowly bring the milk and macaroni mixture to a simmer, stirring the macaroni frequently as it comes up to a simmer. Keep an eye on the mixture to make sure the pasta continually gets stirred.
- Once simmering, turn down heat to low. Stir frequently. Cook for about 17-20 minutes or until the pasta is fully cooked. Drain the excess milk and place the pasta back into the pot.
- Meanwhile sauté the shallot, garlic and thyme in the olive oil until shallot is translucent.
- Stir in the grated cheese and ½ of the pancetta. Stir until the cheese is evenly incorporated into the macaroni. Transfer the mixture in a medium KitchenAid® baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining pancetta on top of the mac and cheese and the shallot mixture and bake for 15 minutes until crispy. Serve as needed
Notes
- You can use whatever shape of pasta you like. I think it's fun to try and contrast the shape of the pasta with your mix-ins.
