- 6 rashers lightly cooked bacon (roughly chopped)
- 480 ml (2 cups) full-fat milk

- 75 g (3/4 cup) Mozzarella (grated)

Open in Supper to scale servings and turn this into a grocery list.
Steps
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200C/400F (fan).
- Step 2
Cook the pasta in boiling water for 1 minute less than the pack instructions. Then drain.
- Step 3
While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat.
- Step 4
Once the butter has melted, gradually add the flour whilst constantly stirring with a whisk, until it becomes a thick paste.
- Step 5
Gradually add the milk, whilst stirring with the whisk, until combined.
- Step 6
Add in the cheese, reserving 1 heaped tablespoon of each type of cheese.
- Step 7
By now the pasta should be ready. Add the cooked and drained pasta to the pan with the white sauce. Mix together until the sauce coats the pasta.
- Step 8
Transfer the pasta to a baking dish and sprinkle on the reserved cheese and lightly cooked bacon.
- Step 9
Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
- Step 10
Sprinkle parsley on top, then serve.
Interactive, hands-free timers are available in the Supper app.
