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.

This was great!! Loved the pearled onions and cauliflower and gorgonzola were surprisingly good together. Solid portion size, too. Nice work, Mr. Ratel!
