Cook the cavatappi:<\/strong>
Bring salted water to a boil in a large pot. Cook 16 oz (450 g) of La Moderna\u00ae Cavatappi according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Make the cheese sauce:<\/strong>
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and stir for 1\u20132 minutes until a smooth paste forms.
Add the milk:<\/strong>
Gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes creamy.
Add the cheese:<\/strong>
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until fully melted. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Combine the pasta:<\/strong>
Add the cooked cavatappi to the cheese sauce and stir until evenly coated.
Add the bacon:<\/strong>
Gently fold in the crispy chopped bacon.
Optional: Bake it:<\/strong>
If desired, transfer the mixture to a baking dish, sprinkle with breadcrumbs, and bake at 350\u00b0F (180\u00b0C) for about 10 minutes, or until golden brown.<\/p>\n
