MACARONI AND CHEESE WITH PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Position rack in bottom third of oven; preheat to 400°F. Butter 11x7-inch glass baking dish. Cook macaroni in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite. Drain well.
• Whisk 1/2 cup Gruyère, cream, milk, prosciutto, Parmesan and nutmeg in large bowl to blend. Add macaroni and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to prepared baking dish. Sprinkle remaining 1 cup Gruyère over. Bake until cheese melts and macaroni and cheese sets, about 20 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Cook macaroni according to package directions until al dente.
• Meanwhile, in a Dutch oven, heat butter over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook and stir for 4-6 minutes or until golden brown. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in flour until blended; gradually stir in wine. Add cream, pepper and salt; bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
• Reduce heat to medium-low. Add goat cheese; stir gently until melted. Gradually stir in the remaining cheeses; cook until melted. Remove from the heat.

PROSCIUTTO PEA AND GOUDA MAC & CHEESE

Steps:

• Cook macaroni according to package directions.
• Bring a sauce pot to medium low heat with olive oil. Add onions and cook for about 3-4 minutes until softened. Raise the heat to medium and add the flour. Whisk together until the roux starts to become light brown. Whisk in the milk, stock, salt, and pepper. Raise heat higher and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken.
• Add nutmeg, mustard and cheeses. Whisk vigorously to avoid lumping. Once the cheese is melted, remove from heat.
• Mix together macaroni, cheese sauce, peas, and proscuitto in a large bowl. Test for seasoning -- add additional salt and pepper if desired.
• Pour into a casserole dish. Top with Panko Bread crumbs.
• Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 15-20 minutes -- just long enough for flavors to blend, bubble and top to get crispy.
• Enjoy!
