I'm in a lockdown and I'm preparing for my semester finals at University, Masters in Literature. It's tough studying remotely. But after a few hours of work I'll watch few episodes of your show and feel refreshed again. Its your spirit, your passion in your work that inpires me all the time! God bless you!

My Favorite Mac & Cheese... I keep searching this video to remind me of proportions, so I finally wrote it down to share the recipe with family (in US measurements) - thought I'd share it with you too!
Jamie Oliver’s Ultimate Mac & Cheese
3 Onions
2T Butter
3T All-Purpose Flour
4C Milk
1T English Mustard
1T Mango Chutney
3 Swigs Worchester Sauce
1lb Macaroni Pasta
4oz. Fresh-grated Cheddar Cheese
4oz. Fresh-grated Gruyere or Raclette Cheese
2oz. Fresh-grated Parmesan Cheese

Topping - Bacon Pangritata
3-4 Strips of bacon chopped to cook crumbled
2+ Finely Chopped Cloves of Garlic
2+ Sprigs of Fresh Thyme
~2C Unseasoned Bread crumbs


Preheat oven to 400º F. Thinly slice onions and melt butter in a pan. Add onions and a dash of salt to melted butter and cook, stirring occasionally on med-high to caramelize – will take 15-20 minutes. Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to boil. Once onions have caramelized, sprinkle 3 T flour over the onion butter mixture and stir to combine: 1-2 minutes. Slowly add milk a little at a time while stirring to keep lumps from forming. Simmer until “silky and gorgeous.” While the sauce is thickening half-cook the macaroni in boiling water for 5 min. (pasta will “suck up the flavor” and finish cooking in the oven). Reserve a cup or so of starchy pasta water. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in Mustard and Worchester sauce. Add grated cheese (leaving some to sprinkle on top), stir until melted, then add undercooked pasta and pasta water as needed for an “oozy, silky” saucy consistency. Pour mixture into a casserole dish, top with reserved cheese, and pop in the preheated oven for about 20-30 min.

Topping:
Crisp bacon in a pan, add garlic and fresh herbs until fragrant, toss in breadcrumbs and stir until golden and crispy.

Remove the pasta dish from the oven, top it with the Bacon Pangritata, and then do the Jamie spoon dance - because it is THAT delicious.

3:48 the child that comes out of everyone once a mac'n'cheese is ready...❤

[EmmyV]

Even though I love basic Mac N cheese, but Jamie Oliver's amazing, satisfying cooking techniques is what I'm here for

[adrianlyons]

Jamie always gets excited when he cooks but this is the most excitement I've ever seen 🤣

[mochaaa]

The way he cooks and talks is so genuinely sweet and lovely. I can't help but smileeee. Only watched 2 videos and I'm already hooked!

[joybmassa]

Those “C’mon, c’mons “ brought Genaro right into this recipe! Lots of 💕💕

[dr-k]

Jamie still gets excited about his dishes and I still wish I was on site to "taste" whatever he serves up. This dish has some really interesting riffs to make it come together that I would have NEVER thought to add ( if I could have cheese) but I hope people try it and post how it turned out. This is a classic comfort food taken to another level.

[rbnutwood]

Jamie is great and I love his family, his down-to-earthedness, his making stuff look quick/easy/healthy and use of 🌶🌽🍅🥦 🥕🍆 🥔s

[Noremac]

This recipe is really out of this world. The Taste with the chuttney go with it and the bacon/crumps around it, is bonkers. Even the kids couldn’t stop eating. Thank you Jamie for this amazing inspiration of great food!
