IRISH YANKEE MAC AND CHEESE
"I suppose this dish reflects my personality-after living in the United States for so many years, I've truly become an Irish Yank! This version of mac and cheese blends my two homes, with Irish dairy in a classic American dish."

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375˚F. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta 2 minutes less than the package instructs. Set aside. In a large nonstick skillet, cook the bacon until it begins to crisp, about 4-5 minutes. Add garlic, cook for 1 more minute. Remove garlic and bacon to a plate, and set aside. In the same skillet, melt butter in the bacon drippings over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute until a paste forms. While continuously whisking, add the milk in slow increments until completely incorporated into the flour paste. Cook until thickened and smooth, about 8-10 minutes. Add in the cheddar and 1 cup parmesan cheese in thirds, until it has melted and becomes a velvety sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Add the reserved pasta, peas and bacon-garlic mixture to the sauce. Pour and scrape the macaroni into a 13x9-inch baking dish, sprinkle with remaining cup Parmesan and place in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes. Serve.
