Instructions to make My Favourite Macaroni Cheese:

- Bake for 6 minutes or until crisp, then set aside.
- Cook the pasta in a large saucepan of boiling salted water for 1 or 2 minutes under the recommended package cooking time (around 8-9 minutes). Drain well and set aside.
- Fry the streaky /pancetta in a non-stick frying pan until just about crispy. Remove from the heat and set aside while you make the sauce.
- For the cheese sauce: heat the butter in a medium saucepan on a low heat until melted. Stir in the flour using a hand whisk and cook for around 10 minutes, stirring continuously until the flour is ‘cooked out’. The consistency will change to a thinner ‘sauce’ and the colour may go slightly caramel. This is when you know it is ready to add the milk.
- Gradually in the milk, splash at a time until all the milk has been mixed in and the sauce is thickened. Meanwhile, preheat the grill to hot
- Turn the heat down to low on the sauce, and add 45g of the gruyere and 130g of the cheddar, a tsp of nutmeg nutmeg and stir until it is well combined and melted.
- Add the pasta to the sauce and mix well. Transfer to a deep, suitably-sized ovenproof dish.
