Directions:

To prepare Cheese Sauce, heat cream, milk, granulated and roasted garlic and cayenne pepper in large saucepan until just simmering. Add cubed cheese, several pieces at a time, whisking after each addition until smooth. Remove from heat, whisk in grated manchego cheese and whisk until melted.

For each serving, heat 8 ounces pasta in sauté pan with ¼ cup chicken stock. Stir in 10 ounces Cheese Sauce and 1 tablespoon ground black pepper, heating until bubbly. Transfer pasta and sauce to oval cast iron skillet. Top with 1/3 cup breadcrumbs and place in convection oven at 500°F for 2 minutes, until breadcrumbs are golden brown. Remove from oven and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon parsley, 1 teaspoon ground black pepper and 1 tablespoon grated manchego cheese before serving.
