I won't miss lighting the gas oven and smelling the gas. I won't be sad to say goodbye to this oven and this little dark kitchen. The kitchen renovation is going well although there are nights where I wake up wondering about my kitchen design thinking "Will I have enough pantry space?" and then slightly panicking. I found it a bit hard to get this to brown on top due to the fact that my oven's grill doesn't work so I had to cook mine a bit longer and at a higher heat. So many of you bought them the last time I wrote about them and are similarly obsessed! If you don't have these you can also use fresh red chillies, around 2-3 depending on how hot you like things. They're great for pizzas instead of chilli oil and they add a hot spiciness to any dish.
These Calabrian chillies are the absolute bomb and I love them so much that I bought them in a huge jar from Costco but you can find them at a few different places.

You can also use cream but that makes it very rich and more of a restaurant style mac and cheese.Ħ - I like things spicy so I used a tablespoon of these hot cream peppers by Muraca. Just make sure that it has a strong flavour so include tasty or cheddar in the mix.ĥ - If you want to make this a bit creamier you can use evaporated milk (not condensed) instead of milk. Basically I used up the cheese that I had that needed to be used up. You can also use bacon for this.Ĥ - I use a few different types of cheese in this - cream cheese is to thicken up the milk while I used a mixture of cheddar, tasty and gruyere cheese. I usually get a wedge of pancetta from the deli (even the supermarket deli sells it) and dice it up.

If you are in tomato season feel free to use fresh ones.ģ - I absolutely love pancetta in this. I use 800g or 28ozs total or 2x400g/14oz tins. You can use any sort of tinned tomatoes but I like the look of the little cherry tomatoes peeking out and I think they give each bite a nice pop. 5 minutes is ideal.Ģ - Because we aren't in tomato season I used tinned cherry tomatoes in this. Just make sure to undercook it as it cooks further in the oven. Is it a palate boredom (I'm sure there must be some sort of word for this in German)? That's sort of how I feel about it especially as you tend to eat mac and cheese as is but adding the rest keeps me very interested.ġ - Use any sort of macaroni or short pasta that you like for this. With other dishes each forkful can be different depending on what you put on it. I don't know if this is a thing but it's the same sensation I get with eating ice cream and I'm usually done in a few bites.
While I love rich and creamy food I find I can't eat a lot of mac and cheese because it tends to be the same bite every time.
I used lots of tomatoes just to keep that tangy balance and it's really so simple to make and feed many. Then I decided to add chilli and pancetta to it. I saw this on the lovely Pip Lincolne on Instagram make a tomato mac and cheese and that got me thinking about what a great idea it is to add tomatoes to mac and cheese. This mac and cheese is all sorts of delicious especially with lovely pops of tomatoes in this. If you love mac and cheese then this is a pushy recipe Dear Reader! Mac and cheese is a great comfort food but if you add bacon, chilli and tomato to it you've got a wonderful flavoured macaroni cheese! Bacon or pancetta adds so much flavour, chilli adds spice and tomatoes add a pop of juicyness and flavour to a classic mac and cheese.
