Day 16 - Cookbook: Bowl Food

I love cook books and I really enjoy cooking. I have a 4 foot shelf filled with cookbooks! But, I just don't use them all. Hence, today's offer: Cookbook - Bowl Food. This book was a gift and I just never got that into it. Here is a sample recipe from the book - something to keep you warm...

Macaroni & Cheese with Pancetta
2.5 cups Macaroni

2.5 ounces Pancetta, diced

2 cups Cream

1 cup grated Gruyere Cheese
1 cup grated Parmesan Cheese

1 clove garlic, crushed

2 teaspoons Dijon Mustard

1/2 teaspoon Paprika
2 tablespoons Fresh Chives, chopped (plus extra for garnish)


Bring a large saucepan of salted water to boil. Add macaroni and cook until al dente. Drain, cover and keep warm.


Meanwhile, place pancetta in large saucepan and cook over high heat for 4 minutes or until well-browned and slightly crisp. Drain on paper towels. Reduce the heat to medium, stir in cream and simmer. Add cheeses, garlic, mustard and paprika and stir for 5 minutes or until the cheeses have melted and the sauce has thickened.

Add the macaroni and pancetta and stir for 1 minute or until heated through. Stir in chives, garnish with the extra chives and serve.
