Preparation – 5 minutes
Fill a large saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and cook the macaroni.
Finely chop the fresh rosemary. Cut the bacon into pieces and fry the bacon, until crispy, in a frying pan. Finely grate the gruyère cheese.
Finishing the mac and cheese – 15 minutes
Drain the mac and cheese using a colander and reserve some of the water.
Add the double cream to the large pan and stir into the macaroni until fully combined. Add the chopped rosemary and season with salt and pepper.
Heat until the macaroni has absorbed the double cream. Stir in the bacon and cheese. Add some water, if necessary, to prevent the mac and cheese from sticking to the pan.
Garnish the mac and cheese with chopped fresh chives. Enjoy your meal!
Which cheese is best for mac and cheese?
You can use different varieties of cheese to make mac and cheese. For the classic American version, they usually use Cheddar cheese. Several types are available, including mature cheddar, mild cheddar and white cheddar.
For a quick and simple mac and cheese, you can use any grated cheese you have available. This can be young or mature cheese, but Emmental or Comté also work well (just choose a cheese which melts well).
Which type of macaroni should I use for mac and cheese?
In America, “elbow” macaroni, which is slightly larger than the macaroni you may be familiar with, is usually used.
