What's cooking in my kitchen today? Cheesy and yummy pasta. A perfect combination of cheddar and bocconcini (bocconcini is a soft, moist, mild, almost white cheese...some people find it pretty bland). Perfect for snack or dinner. Definitely will make it again.
Recipe:
250g macaroni, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 onion, sliced, 125g pancetta, chopped (I used beef bacon instead), 125 g ham, chopped (I used salami), 4 eggs, 1 cup milk, 1 cup (250ml) thickened or puring cream, 2 tbsp snipped fresh chives, salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, 1 cup freshly grated cheddar cheese, 125g bocconcini, chopped
- Preheat oven to moderate 180C
- Add macaroni to a large pan of rapidly boiling water and cook until just tender. Drain thoroughly. Spread evenly over the base of a 5 cm deep casserole dish.
- Heat oil in a large pan. Add sliced onion and stir over low heat until tender.
Add chopped pancetta to pan and cook for 2 minutes. Add ham to mixture and stir well. Remove from heat, allow to cool.
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, chives, salt and pepper. Add the cheeses and the pancetta mixture, stir well. Spread evenly over top of macaroni. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until mixture is set.
