Start by boiling the macaroni with the salt as per package instructions minus 2 minutes. Once cooked, strain, put back into the pot with the butter and mix through, this will help stop the pasta from clinging.
Preheat your oven to 220 d or 190 fan forced
Mix the bread topping ingredients together in a small bowl, set aside
As your pasta cooks, cook the guanciale in a small pan on medium heat, no oil required. The some of guanciale's fat will breakdown into its own cooking fat. Cook for 5 minutes or until crispy and golden.
Heat up a cast iron pan with the olive oil and throw in the garlic, cook for 2 mins on a low heat then add the tomato paste, cook for a further 2 minutes before adding the butter, chilli and vodka. Flambe the vodka
Add the flour, it will turn into a very thick paste, throw in a cup of milk, give a firm whisk until the paste has thinned out then add in the rest of the milk, continuously whisking until no lumps remain.
Let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes on a low heat before adding in both cheeses, stirring until melted and the sauce is thick, it'll look insane.
Carefully pour the macaroni into the cheesy cast iron pan and combine, everything must be coated in the sauce. Throw half the guanciale in. Sprinkle the topping just before you place in the oven, making sure to cover the whole dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the topping has turned a golden brown colour. Serve up, Rip It.
