List of Ingredients





3 1/4 cups large elbow macaroni (about 11 ounces)
12 bacon slices, chopped
3 cups fresh coarse bread crumbs made from French bread (about 4 ounces -- approximately half of an 8-ounce loaf)
1 cup (packed) finely grated Parmesan cheese (about 4 ounces)
1/2 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
6 cups whole milk
6 large egg yolks
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 1/2 cups (packed) grated Fontina cheese (about 14 ounces)
1 1/4 cups frozen peas


Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 13-by-9-by-2-inch baking dish. Cook macaroni in a large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite. Drain. Rinse and drain again; set aside.

Cook bacon in large pot, until crisp. Transfer bacon and 1/4 cup pan drippings to large bowl. Add bread crumbs, 1/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese and 1/4 cup of the parsley to bacon; toss to coat.

Add minced garlic to remaining pan drippings in pot and saute over medium heat until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add flour and whisk 3 minutes. Gradually whisk in whole milk, then egg yolks, salt and pepper. Cook until mixture thickens, whisking constantly, about 12 minutes. Add 2 cups Fontina cheese and remaining 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese; whisk until cheeses melt. Remove from heat. Mix in peas, macaroni and remaining parsley. Stir in remaining Fontina. Transfer mixture to prepared dish. Sprinkle bread crumb mixture over macaroni mixture. Bake just until topping is golden, about 15 minutes. Let stand 15 minutes before serving. Makes 10 servings.

Note: Can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Cover macaroni and bread crumb mixtures separately and refrigerate. Before continuing, bake refrigerated macaroni mixture, covered, at 350 degrees until just heated through, about 30 minutes.
