Mac and Cheese

My method for doing mac and cheese is far from a science.  I usually ask the person working the cheese counter at Murray’s for an interesting combination of two cheeses and I always use parmigiano-reggiano.  In this version, I started by rendering some bacon in an deep, oven-proof saute pan.  Then used the rendered fat and a little butter, 2-3 tablespoons of flour, and a few cups of milk to make a roux. Add grated cheeses, a little freshly grated nutmeg, possibly some cayenne pepper for a little spice, and the slightly undercooked noodles to the roux.  In this version I also added a head of roasted garlic and some fresh thyme.  Top with parm and bake until bubbly and toasted on top.
