I had a burning, growing mac and cheese craving. I think the last time I actually had mac and cheese was back in December when Christy brought me Homeroom post breakup. This is obviously unacceptable. I need mac and cheese now. This video did not help, but it did inspire [me to stock up on lots of boxed mac and cheese next time I go shopping]. Yet again, several pieces conveniently fell into place... including a block of fontina that was slowly being devoured by mold and needed eating immediately ... oops.
No elbows? No problem. I also had a carton of egg yolks that was on its last leg.

1/2c Capay mills flour

3T yolks from a carton

1/2t salt
-make into fun shapes for practice
Breakfast to power me through the pasta journey was sourdough discard pancake shmeared with Joyce's gochujang aioli, cured salmon rosettes, freeze dried garlic, and furikake. Plus extra furikake not pictured.
Lunch to power me through pasta journey was a container of cauliflower gnocchi and pesto from Joyce.

Oh.
Oh hello.
Hi, yes.
Sorry, I didn't see you there over this sexy cheese stretch.
So this obviously is not mac and cheese. And I would not turn down a gooey saucy garlicky bowl of cheesy elbows with bacon and peas. BUT this was a carb, smothered in cheese, and that is a miracle. The broiled pasta was a fun crunchy and bready intermediate of pasta and dipping baguette.
Bonus: pasta twirls for later days.
