Steps:
- Boil pasta in a medium pot of boiling salted water until al dente, about 2 minutes less than per package instructions. Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta water.

Slowly whisk in milk and vermouth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring often, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low and add cheese in 3 batches, starting with Raclette. Follow with Gruyere and Emmentaler. Whisk to fully combine after adding each cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Add pasta, stir to coat, and serve, sprinkled with parsley and more pepper.

Ah, Babybel cheese, the fancy French chef's secret weapon for fondue-it keeps the molten mixture from separating, and its unassuming flavor lets the Gruyère shine.

Steps:
- Rub inside of a large saucepan with cut sides of garlic. Finely grate garlic into saucepan; add beer and 1 1/2 cups wine and bring to a boil over medium heat. Whisk cornstarch and remaining 1/2 cup wine in a small bowl until no lumps remain, then whisk into liquid in saucepan. Bring to a boil, whisking constantly, then reduce heat so mixture is at a very low simmer and very gradually add Gruyère and Babybel, whisking until smooth (fully incorporate each batch of cheese before adding more).
- Whisk bourbon and baking soda in a small bowl to combine, then whisk into fondue, followed by lemon juice; season with salt. Transfer to a fondue pot and serve with bread, ham, salumi, pickles, and crudités for dipping.
Tips:
- Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is the star of the show in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. A sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese are both good choices.
- Don't overcook the pasta: The pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. If you overcook the pasta, it will become mushy and the dish will be less enjoyable.
- Make sure the cheese sauce is thick enough: The cheese sauce should be thick enough to coat the pasta and vegetables without being too runny. If the sauce is too thin, it will not adhere to the pasta and the dish will be watery.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: This recipe is a great starting point, but you can feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors. For example, you could add some chopped bacon, cooked chicken, or diced tomatoes to the dish.
Conclusion:
Bell pepper mac and cheese with fondue cheese sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of creamy cheese sauce, tender pasta, and roasted bell peppers is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
