Ingredients

For the white sauce:

4 T butter
4 T flour
1 cup milk
1 cup cream
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 T olive oil
1 medium onion, finely diced
4 garlic clove, crushed
300 g pork rashers, chopped
500 g macaroni, cooked al dente
250 g Woolworths 10-month mature Gouda, grated
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

For the topping:

1 T butter, melted
2 T Fresh parsley, chopped
1 ciabatta roll, torn into crumbs

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C. To make the white sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan, add the flour and mix to form a paste. Cook for 1 minute, remove from the heat and gradually whisk in the milk and cream. Return to the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, whisking continually, until thick. Season to taste.

Heat the olive oil in a pan, soften the onion and garlic, then add the pork rashers and fry until golden.

Fold in the macaroni, white sauce and 3⁄4 of the Gouda and season to taste. Transfer to an ovenproof dish or individual dishes and sprinkle over the remaining cheese and the topping. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden and bubbling.

Cook's note: To make the version on our cover, blanch 500 g cannelloni, place upright into a baking dish and pour over the sauce. Bake for 20–25 minutes. Did you know, the Woolworths 10-month mature Gouda, which recently won product of the year at the National Dairy Championships, is what makes this a real treat, plus the richness of the cream and fragrant freshly grated nutmeg.
