Spiced up Mac 'n Cheese

The basic recipe:

1 stick of butter

5 cups of milk

1/2 cup flour

2 teaspoons salt

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

5 cups grated sharp white cheddar

3 cups grated gruyere

1/2 cup pecorino romano 

1 1/2 lb macaroni
Added flavors:

pancetta
truffle oil
onion

poblano
garlic

Cook the pasta al dente
Sautee pancetta, onion and garlic
 
Mix up the cheese sauce
On the stove melt butter, add milk, flour, seasoning and slowly add in cheese to melt over low heat add in truffle oil
chop up the poblano pepper and toss that and the sautéed food in with the pasta then mix in the cheese sauce

The last step is putting it in the oven. This makes a lot of mac 'n cheese, so I put some of it right into smaller containers in the freezer and then when I need a quick dinner I can just pull it out of the freezer and pop it in the oven. I also wanted to try some of it right away so I put some right in to the oven to enjoy.
