Cook the macaroni 'al dente' then toss with EVOO and let cool
Mix the cooled macaroni with a creamy blend of sour cream and Dijon mustard. (You can prepare this part ahead of time!)
Toast Panko breadcrumbs to golden perfection - the crispy crown for your mac and cheese.
Melt Cheddar and Parmigiano-Reggiano into rich, luscious heavy cream.
Combine the cheese goodness with the macaroni and crumbled Bacon, heating until it's a tantalizing symphony of flavors.
Add fresh chives and parsley, season to perfection with salt and pepper.
Serve it up in a dish or individual bowls, topped with bread crums
