Time 45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 pounds ziti pasta
1/2 pound pancetta, chopped
1 1/2 cups grated Monterey Jack (plus extra for topping)
1 1/2 cups grated Asiago (plus extra for topping)
1 1/2 cups grated Cheddar (plus extra for topping)
1 1/2 cups grated Provolone (plus extra for topping)
1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan (plus extra for topping)
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook ziti until al dente. Strain and rinse in cool water. In a saute pan over medium-high heat, cook pancetta until it is crispy and the fat has rendered. In the same pan, add all of the cheeses and the cream and whisk until blended. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Slowly add the cooked ziti to the cheese mixture, stirring gently. Transfer the ziti and cheese mixture to a large baking dish or cast iron skillet. Top off with more cheese and bake for 24 to 30 minutes.

I'm not a fan of mac and cheese, but I tried this recipe and it was actually really good! The pancetta adds a nice salty flavor and the cheese sauce is very creamy.

This recipe is a bit too cheesy for my taste. I would recommend using less cheese or adding more milk to the sauce.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. It's also very versatile. You can add different vegetables or proteins to it to change up the flavor.

This recipe was a disaster! The cheese sauce was too thick and the pasta was overcooked. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This recipe is a bit too rich for my taste, but it's still very good. I would recommend using a lighter cheese sauce if you're not a fan of heavy dishes.
