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.
MACARONI AND CHEESE FOR GROWN-UPS
This is a great side dish or main course. I say for grown-ups, but anyone can enjoy it. Use your choice of cheeses, I like Smoked Gouda, Swiss, Chedder and Munster. Thanks to Alton Brown for the idea of Panko on top as a crust. I don't remember where I got this but I think it was my Nana.

MAC-N-CHEESE FOR GROWN-UPS
This was sent to me in a William Sonoma magazine and it's a nice variation on an old classic that tends to be a more grown up taste (IMHO) It calls for cavatappi pasta (a fancier elbow looking pasta) but I couldn't find it so just used elbow. Has more steps than most mac-n-cheese I've made but I feel it's worth it and hope you do too.

MACARONI AND CHEESE FOR GROWNUPS

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a heavy skillet.
- Add the onion and saute on medium heat until softened and mostly cooked-about 10 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook for one more minute-be careful not to brown the garlic.
- Whisk the flour in.
- Cook while stirring for three minutes.
- Uncooked flour tastes bad!
- Whisk in the milk.
- Continue to stir until the mixture barely begins to boil.
- It should be a little bubbly and beginning to thicken.
- Add the vinegar while whisking-if the milk is hot it won't curdle and the vinegar brightens up the sauce.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- If you don't want black flecks use white pepper instead.
- Add a dash of Tobasco.
- Taste then add more if you like.
- Stir in the pepperoncinis or jalapenos.
- You need to experiment-make this a few times and decide exactly how much of which pepper you like.
- Stir in your favorite cheeses.
- I like to combine sharp cheddar with a little crumbled bleu.
- Swiss is good for flavor but not texture so blend with something creamy like Fontina.
- Monterey Jack is very creamy but without a lot of flavor so add something sharp and flavorful.
- Pour the macaroni into a large baking pan.
- Pour the sauce over and gently mix.
- Sprinkle the parmesan and bread crumbs on top.
- Bake at 350 degrees until browned on top-about 25 minutes or so.
- Let sit for 10 minutes then serve.
- You may never even consider boxed mac-n-cheese again.

GROWN-UP MAC AND CHEESE
Steps:
- Heat covered 4-quart saucepan of salted water to boiling on high. Add pasta and cook as label directs. Meanwhile, preheat broiler. In 3-quart saucepan, cook pancetta on medium 5 minutes or until browned; with slotted spoon, transfer pancetta to paper towels to drain. Add enough oil to drippings in pan to equal 1 tablespoon; whisk in flour and cook 30 seconds, whisking constantly. Gradually whisk in milk and heat to boiling on medium-high, stirring frequently. Boil 1 minute, stirring. Remove saucepan from heat; stir in Fontina, 1/4 cup Romano, and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper until cheese melts. In cup, combine remaining Romano with panko. Drain pasta well. Stir pasta and pancetta into cheese mixture until evenly coated. Spoon mixture into 4-cup shallow gratin dish or 9-inch pie plate. Sprinkle with panko mixture. Place dish on rack in bottom third of oven and broil 3 to 6 minutes or until browned. Tips & Techniques For robust flavor, look for Italian Fontina instead of one of the domestic choices.
GROWN UP MACARONI AND CHEESE
This is a fantastic mac and cheese recipe, with grown up flavors...you've got to give it a try. I made it last year for a dinner party, and after a year of people asking for the recipe (It really is that good!) I decided to just put it on Zaar. The recipe comes from the Fall 2007 edition of The Best of Fine Cooking magazine. This serves 8 people as a main course.
