The name says it all! Ooey gooey mac and cheese takes a little inspiration from Carbonara with some rendered pancetta, caramelized onions, and peas. Finished with creamy, sharp gorgonzola cheese sauce that makes this dish taste like a five-star sophisticated entrée. The ingredients speak for themselves in this amped up take on a comfort classic. This meal does well in both the microwave or the oven, it just depends on if you prefer the cheese on top more on the crispy side. A tip from Chef Chris: if you go the oven-route, microwaving it for two minutes first cuts down baking time significantly.
