Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces bacon end strips, or regular bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (1 1/4 cups) 1 small onion, chopped (1 1/2 cups) 4 large cloves garlic, minced (2 tablespoons) 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme, plus whole leaves for serving Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper 1 pound spaghetti 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour 1/2 cup whole milk 8 ounces mixed grated melting cheeses, such as Gruyere, Monterey Jack, and fontina

Directions

Cook bacon, onion, and garlic in a large straight-sided skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until bacon is browned, about 10 minutes. Stir in chopped thyme. Remove from heat.

Meanwhile, in a large pot of salted boiling water, cook pasta until al dente, about 2 minutes less than according to package instructions. Drain, reserving 2 cups pasta water.

Melt butter in a small saucepan.Whisk in flour; cook until melted and smooth, about 1 minute. Slowly whisk in milk and 1/2 cup pasta water until smooth. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, and whisk in cheeses.

Return skillet to medium-high heat; add 1/2 cup pasta water and cook, scraping up browned bits, 1 to 2 minutes. Add cooked spaghetti and cheese sauce. Stir, adding remaining pasta water, 1/4 cup at a time, until sauce is creamy and evenly coats pasta. Taste and season as needed. Serve, sprinkled with pepper and thyme leaves.
