A delightful twist on the classic macaroni and cheese, featuring crispy bacon and creamy ricotta for a rich and satisfying dish.
Boil the macaroni in a large pot of salted water until al dente, then drain.
Stir the macaroni occasionally to prevent sticking.
In a frying pan, cook the bacon until crispy, then crumble into small pieces.
Use a paper towel to absorb excess grease from the bacon.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked macaroni, crumbled bacon, and ricotta cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
Mix gently to avoid breaking the macaroni.
Serve the dish warm, garnished with additional black pepper if desired.
Serve with a side salad for a complete meal.
