GRANT ACHATZ'S MAC AND CHEESE
You would expect Chef Achatz's macaroni and cheese to have some chef tricks, but it doesn't. He uses a white sauce, elbow macaroni and cheddar cheese, just like the rest of us. His personal touch: a tablespoon of paprika (to enhance the color of the sauce) and lots of smoky, crisp bacon bits. We love this recipe, which we tried out on resident's to see if they liked the pasta and cheese sauce. Have tweaked it a bit! F&W Magazine, 12/06 edition, From "Comfort Food from a Rebel Chef."

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F
- Butter a 9-by-13-by-2-inch baking dish.
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter.
- Add the bacon and cook over moderate heat until crisp, about 7 minutes.
- With a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper toweled plate.
- Add the onion and bay leaves to the saucepan and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the paprika, oregano, garlic and cayenne and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in the flour until blended.
- Gradually whisk in the milk until the sauce is smooth.
- Bring to a boil over high heat, whisking constantly, and cook until thickened.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer the sauce gently for 30 minutes, whisking frequently.
- Discard the bay leaves.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the macaroni or penne and boil until pliable but undercooked, about 4 minutes.
- Drain the pasta and return it to the pot.
- Stir 4 cups of the cheddar into the hot sauce, add the bacon and season with salt, black pepper(as needed) and a pinch of crushed red pepper(as needed).
- Add the sauce to the pasta and mix well.
- Spread the mac and cheese in the prepared baking dish and scatter the remaining 1 cup of cheddar on top.
- Bake for about 30 minutes, until golden brown and bubbling.
- Let stand for 10 minutes before serving with a baby spinach salad w/a vinaigrette dressing, crusty rustic bread and a Brunello di Montalcino from southern Tuscany.
- **The assembled mac and cheese can be refrigerated overnight. Bring to room temperature before baking.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place a baking rack on a sheet pan and arrange the bacon in 1 layer on the baking rack. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the bacon is crisp. Remove the pan carefully from the oven - there will be hot grease in the pan! Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels and crumble when it is cool enough to handle.
- Drizzle oil into a large pot of boiling salted water. Add the macaroni and cook according to the directions on the package, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain well.
- Meanwhile, heat the milk in a small saucepan, but don't boil it. Melt the butter in a medium pot and add the flour. Cook over low heat for 2 minutes, stirring with a whisk. While whisking, add the hot milk and cook for a minute or 2 more, until thickened and smooth. Off the heat, add the Gruyere, Cheddar, blue cheese, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Add the cooked macaroni and crumbled bacon and stir well. Pour into 2 individual size gratin dishes.
- Place the bread slices in a food processor fitted with a steel blade and pulse until you have coarse crumbs. Add the basil and pulse to combine. Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture over the top of the pasta. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the macaroni is browned on the top.
