Good morning my friends, soufflé is always a good idea for weekend… what do you think??? Let’s do it

Ingredients

1 bag of spaghetti penne
A package of bacon
Salt Pepper
300 grams of grated yellow cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil

For the béchamel:

150 grams of butter
Salt Pepper
Half a teaspoon of cinnamon
A teaspoon of nutmeg
2 egg yolks
1 liter of fresh milk
5 tablespoons flour

Preparation

The way of making this wonderful souffle is quite easy and with very simple steps you will have in your hands the souffle of your dreams. To begin, fill a saucepan halfway with water and bring the water to a boil. Once cooked, add the spaghetti and let it cook for about 5-10 minutes. Put some salt and olive oil in the water so that they do not stick.

In the meantime, until the spaghetti is done, start making our homemade béchamel. In a saucepan, melt the butter and add the flour, stirring constantly. Once the flour is colored, add the milk and stir constantly. Add salt, pepper, cinnamon and nutmeg and finally the egg yolks.

When the cream starts to thicken, it is ready to use. Then cut the bacon into pieces and toss it into the béchamel along with the yellow cheeses and keep some grated cheese aside to spread on top.

Strain the spaghetti and put it in a large pan. Put the béchamel on top and mix the spaghetti and béchamel together in the pan. Finally, add grated cheese on top and bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 15-20 minutes until it turns brown on top.

Our souffle is ready to enjoy.

Extra tips:

In addition to bacon, you can add other ingredients, such as peppers, mushrooms and whatever you want.
If you are bored of making your own béchamel, use a commercial ready-made one.
Accompany the soufflé with a fresh salad, potatoes and toast.
Instead of pennies you can put whatever pasta you want.

Stay safe and healthy my friends and take care of your people
