Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Kosher salt
1 pound fusilli
6 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
1 small onion, diced
1 clove garlic, grated
1/2 cup white wine
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated fontina cheese
1/2 cup grated white Cheddar
1/2 cup grated Romano
1/2 cup grated Gruyère
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup mozzarella pearls
2 scallion greens, sliced thin

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fusilli and cook for 1 to 2 minutes less than the package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and remove all but 2 tablespoons of the grease from the skillet. Add the thyme, onion and garlic to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the wine and cook until mostly evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the cream and heat until bubbly, 30 seconds. Gradually add the fontina, Cheddar, Romano and Gruyère in handfuls, letting each combine with the cream before adding the next.
  • Add the pasta to the skillet along with a good pinch of salt and pepper. Toss everything together, thinning with the reserved pasta water if needed. Divide the pasta into 8-ounce individual gratin dishes (or 1 flameproof casserole dish) and set on a baking sheet. Divide the mozzarella pearls over the top of the pasta.
  • Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to broil.
  • Broil on the center rack until the mozzarella pearls are brown and the pasta is bubbling, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove and garnish with the cooked bacon and sliced scallion greens.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of cheeses: A combination of different cheeses will give your mac and cheese a more complex flavor. Try using a mix of sharp cheddar, Parmesan, mozzarella, Gruyère, and Fontina.
  • Cook the macaroni al dente: Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian, and it refers to the ideal state of pasta that is cooked through but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked macaroni will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Make a roux: A roux is a thickening agent made from butter and flour. It helps to create a smooth and creamy sauce for your mac and cheese.
  • Add milk or cream: Milk or cream will help to thin out the sauce and make it more creamy. You can use whole milk, low-fat milk, or even heavy cream, depending on how rich you want your mac and cheese to be.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to season your mac and cheese with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You may also want to add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little bit of heat.
  • Top with prosciutto bits: Prosciutto bits add a salty, savory flavor to mac and cheese. You can cook the prosciutto in a pan until it is crispy, or you can simply tear it into small pieces and add it to the mac and cheese before baking.

Conclusion:

Five-cheese macaroni with prosciutto bits is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover cheese, and it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try!
