A fun summer dish!

BLT Mac and Cheese-A recipe I found and played around with- SO delic!
Ingredients:
5 C water
8 slices bacon4oz sharp white cheedar cheese- grated (I grate fresh)
1 oz. parmesan cheese
4 oz. cream cheese
** if you like cheesier you can double all cheese ingredients**
1lb. uncooked celletani pasta
1tsp salt
1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper
1 large leek
3 large plum tomatoes


Prep:
to start pasta mixture, bring water to a boil
Meanwhile, cook bacon and chop-set to the side


Add pasta, cream cheese, grated cheese, salt and pepper to boiler water. Cover and simmer vigorously 5 min. stirring OCCASIONALLY.


As pasta mixture cooks, cute your leek into small squares and cut your tomatoe the same.  Cook, uncovered, 5-7 minutes or until pasta is cooked and sauce is thickened.


Take off the heat and mix in your tomatoe and bacon...I also top with more fresh ground pepper and parm cheese
