Ingredients
- 8 ounces pork belly diced
- 1 pound elbow macaroni
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons ground mustard
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 1/2 cups milk
- 4 ounces shredded white cheddar cheese
- 4 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 ounces plain goat cheese
- 4 ounces Brie cheese
- 4 ounces smoked provolone cheese
Instructions
- Cook pasta according to package directions.
- Cook the pork belly in a small skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes until crispy. Drain excess fat and set aside.
- Make your cheese sauce by melting 1 stick of butter (1/2 cup) in a saucepan. Once the butter has melted, whisk in the flour, ground mustard, onion powder and salt to create a thick paste. Whisk in your milk and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Once it begins to bubble, immediately remove from heat and add in the goat cheese, cheddars, and brie stirring until all the cheese is melted and smooth.
- Spray a 9x13 pan with nonstick spray. Put your cooked noodles in the pan and pour the cheese sauce over the pasta. Add the pancetta in and stir until everything is evenly mixed. Top with provolone cheese.
- Bake in a 400 degree oven for about 10 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and starting to brown.
