Gorgonzola and pancetta - trying to imagine how this could be anything but delicious! I'll have to give this a try - it looks like the sort of thing that would be very good made ahead and then cooked in the evening after work.
That sounds yummy! I love macaroni cheese, it's a real comfort food. I shall try this recipe.
