Italian Mac

Directions

Boil the pasta in salted water until al dente and then drain.

Melt butter over medium temp in a large sauce pan.  When butter starts to bubble, add flour and cook for 1 minute.  Gradually whisk in chicken broth, bring to a simmer and then gradually whisk in the Mascarpone cream cheese until smooth.  Once hot, remove from heat, add 2 cups of the Mozzarella, 1 cup of Provolone and 1 cup of Parmesan cheese. Season lightly with salt & pepper and stir until smooth.

Add pasta and cheese sauce to a large bowl and mix gently.  Pour into a baking dish, top with the reserved Mozzarella and spread tomatoes out over the top.  Season the tops of tomatoes with salt & pepper and then sprinkle with 1/3 cup of Parmesan cheese. Bake at 375F in center of the oven for 30-35 minutes, until bubbly and edges are lightly browned. Finish with crumbled bacon, herbs and fresh cracked pepper.  Serves 8-10
