Serves 4 people

150g Diced pancetta
200g Napolina macaroni*
40g Butter
2 Garlic cloves, crushed
40g Plain flour
1/2 tsp Mustard powder
600ml Whole milk
150g Fontina and/or cheddar cheese, grated

*Did you know macaroni originates from Naples?

Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6
1 Dry fry the pancetta until the fat begins to render. Scoop a couple of spoonfuls of pancetta and put aside, then cook the remaining pancetta until lightly browned.
2 Boil the macaroni in salted water for 5 minutes. (trust us: You'll bake it in step 5). Drain and set aside.
3 Now, to make the sauce. Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the garlic and cook gently until pale gold. Stir in the flour and mustard powder, then simmer for a minute or two.
Gradually pour in the milk and bring to the boil. Let the mixture simmer, stirring occasionally for 4-5 minutes. It should be thick and smooth.
4 Remove from the heat and stir in the macaroni, browned pancetta, and all but a spoonful of the grated cheese (or cheeses). Season generously and transfer to an ovenproof dish.
5 Mix the reserved pancetta, grated cheese, parmesan and breadcrumbs together, then sprinkle over the top of the macaroni. Bake for 20 minutes until it's bubbling, and irresistibly golden.
