Instructions
- Cook the pasta of choice according to package directions for al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
- Next, heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the panko bread crumbs and pepper. Brown bread crumbs, stirring once a minute for 5 minutes. Remove from burner and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Quickly whisk in flour to form a roux.
- Microwave the milk and half and half for 3 minutes in an oven safe container, being careful to not burn yourself.
- Roux should be a light brown and have a nutty smell. While whisking, pour in milk. Initially it will be clumpy and thick, but keep on whisking- FAST! Sauce will be a creamy white and thick after all milk is added.
- Whisk in the gouda until smooth. Still whisking (does your arm hurt yet?) add the parsley, bacon and salt. Remove from heat.
- In a large bowl, gently toss cooked pasta with gouda cheese sauce.
- Preheat broiler on high. Coat individual oven-safe bowls or a large casserole dish with cooking spray. Transfer mac and to casserole dish(es). Sprinkle with panko bread crumbs.
- Place under high broiler for 3-4 minutes, or until bubbly and lightly browned.
- Remove and drizzle with Sriracha and scallions.
