1 pound elbow macaroni or your favorite pasta
1 tablespoon canola oil
5 slices bacon diced
4 cloves garlic minced
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons flour all-purpose
4 1/2 cups milk
6 cups sharp white cheddar cheese grated
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups frozen peas thawed

1
Preheat the oven to 375 F
2
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta 2 minutes less than the package instructs. Set aside
3
In a large nonstick skillet, cook the bacon until it begins to crisp, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add garlic, cook for 1 more minute. Remove garlic and bacon and set aside
4
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute until a paste forms. Continuously whisking, add the milk in slow increments until incorporated into the flour paste. Cook until thick and smooth, about 8 to 10 minutes
5
Add in the cheddar cheese in thirds, until it has melted and becomes a velvety sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Add the macaroni, peas, and bacon-garlic mixture to the sauce
6
Pour and scrape the macaroni into a 13 x 9-inch baking dish, sprinkle with Parmesan, and place in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes. Serve.
