Place on the stove over low heat and cook, covered, stirring once every minute to keep the cheeses from sticking.
• Meanwhile, melt the remaining 1/2 stick butter in a nonstick skillet and add the lamb and bacon. Add the paprika, remaining tablespoon seafood seasoning, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 tablespoon black pepper. Cook until the bacon fat has rendered down and the lamb is cooked all the way through and tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.

MACARONI MILANAISE

Steps:

• Set a large pot of heavily salted water over high heat, and allow it to come to a boil.
• Add the pasta to the water, and cook it until it is just shy of tender, according to the instructions on the box.
• Meanwhile, put the ham, mushrooms and tomato purée in a small sauté pan, and pour the Madeira over the top. Cook over medium heat until the liquid has reduced to a glaze, the ham is heated through and the mushrooms are beginning to brown. Turn the heat off under the pan, and set aside.
• Reserve a cup of the pasta water, and drain the pasta well. Return the pasta to the pot, then add the cheeses and butter, and stir to combine. Add the seasonings, and stir some more, adding, if necessary, a little of the reserved pasta water to loosen the pasta and help melt the cheeses. Add the mushroom mixture, and stir to combine. Taste for seasoning. Serve with salad, or as a ''garnish'' for roasted or sautéed lamb.
