Ingredients
- 1/3 cup Butter
- 1/3 cup Flour
- 2 1/2 cups Milk
- 1/2 cup Cheddar Cheese shredded
- 1 wedge Garlic and Herb Brie Cheese cubed and de-rinded
- 1/2 cup Buffalo Sauce
- 1 lb Pasta
- 1 package Pancetta
Instructions
- Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil and preheat oven to 375°.
- While the water is boiling, melt your butter in a skillet or pan and add the flour. Allow this mixture to thicken on low heat and add the milk. Let this simmer and thicken, stirring constantly.
- Add all cheeses to the pot.
- Once your water is boiling, add salt and pasta and cook until al dente.
- Add buffalo sauce and continue to stir your cheese sauce (it should continue to thicken the more you stir over heat).
- In another pan, sauté pancetta and set aside.
- Once pasta is done, strain and add to glass casserole dish. Pour cheese sauce on top, saving 1/2 cup for later use. Add cooked pancetta, stir mixture and bake for 15 minutes or until your mac and cheese becomes nice and bubbly.
- Plate and pour extra cheese sauce over servings if needed. Season with parsley and enjoy!
