Ingredients

    1 oz. medium sized shell pasta
    1 tbsp. flour
    2 tbsp. milk
    1/2 oz. grated Gruyere cheese
    1/2 oz. grated cheddar cheese
    1 tsp. Parmesan cheese
    1/4 tsp. pepper
    1/4 tsp. nutmeg

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Set a large, wide-mouthed 6-quart pot over medium heat. Add the olive oil and pancetta to the pot and cook the pancetta until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the onions and garlic to the pan and cook until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the butter and flour to the pot and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Add the half-and-half to the pot and whisk until smooth. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to a simmer. Season with the salt, white pepper and nutmeg and cook for 3 minutes. Add the pasta to the pot and remove from the heat. Add the grated cheeses to the pot and stir to combine well.

Transfer the contents of the pot to a 3-quart baking dish. In a small bowl, combine the bread crumbs with the Essence and sprinkle over the top of the macaroni. Bake uncovered until golden brown and bubbling, 40 to 45 minutes.
