*Prepare a baking dish set aside.

Ingredients:

3/4 Box of Cellentani, Cooked (Reserve water for White Sauce)

2 Cups White Garlic Sauce

2 1/2 Cups Grated Gruyere/Swiss Cheese

1 Leek, Sliced & Rinsed

12 Pieces Peppered Bacon, Cooked & Crumbled

In a large pot bring salted water to a boil. Cook pasta for about 12 minutes.

While pasta is cooking put the following ingredients into a large mixing bowl: Grated Cheese, Sliced Leek, Sour Cream, Ricotta Cheese, Crumbles Bacon, Garlic Powder & Pepper gently fold ingredients together, set aside.

After pasta is cooked drain off 2 Cups of the pasta water for your White Sauce.

Stir cooked pasta into Cheese mixture.

Next add 4 TBSP. Butter & 4 TBSP. Flour to a medium saucepan whisk together add pasta water slowly, add 1/4~1/2 cup heavy cream whisk mixture bubbly & thickened, lastly whisk in Mustard. Pour White Sauce over Pasta Mixture, gently fold in. Pour mixture into a prepared baking dish.

*This is where I get creative & prepare my baking dish with a Garlic Herb Butter.

Put baking dish onto a covered baking sheet slide into the oven & bake @ 375 for 30 minutes, increase the oven to 500 degree bake additional 10~20 minutes. Look after 10 minutes to see if the Mac & Cheese has browned to your liking!

Remove from oven, cool for 15 minutes before serving.

Serve with a nice Red Wine…

Enjoy!
