PASTA
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. Cook the pasta until al dente, 10-12 minutes. Drain, reserving the pasta water, and toss through a drizzle of olive oil.
GLAZED Pork BELLY
Combine the garlic, ginger, and hoisin sesame glaze. Place a pan over medium-high heat with a light drizzle of oil. Pat the Pork dry with paper towel, cut into bite-sized pieces, and remove any bones. When hot, sear the pork until crispy, golden brown, and cooked through, 8-10 minutes (shifting occasionally). In the final 1-2 minutes, drain the rendered fat, and baste with the hoisin glaze mixture. Remove from the pan with all the pan juices and season.
CHEESY MAC
Return the pot to medium heat with 20g [40g]|#7DA0D7 of butter. Once melted, vigorously whisk in the flour to form a roux. Cook out for 1-2 minutes (whisking constantly). Slowly whisk in the milk until slightly thickened (whisking constantly). If the bechamel is too thick for your liking, loosen with the reserved pasta water. Mix in the cheese and cook until the cheese is melted, 1-2 minutes. Mix in the mustard and the pasta. Loosen with pasta water if it's too thick. Remove from the heat and season.
TIME TO EAT
Bowl up the cheesy mac, top with the Pork belly and all the pan juices. Sprinkle over the zest and finish with a squeeze of Lemon juice (to taste). Garnish with a scatter of the spring onion and dig in, Chef!
