    Start by cooking your bacon stripes. Cook until lightly crisp but still a bit chewy. Set cooked bacon aside.

    Start Your fettuccini. In a large stock pot add 5 quarts hot water and 1/2 tablespoon of salt. Bring to a rolling boil.

  3. 3

    Add fettuccini and stir, let cook in boiling water for 15-18 minutes until cooked.

    While the pasta is cooking, start the sauce. In a large deep sided pan, add butter and melt it over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute, constantly whisking.

  5. 5

    Add in warm milk and whisk until a smooth sauce appears. Bring this to a soft boil whisking slowly so bottom doesn't burn. Cook until thickened.

  6. 6

    Gently whisk in both cheeses. Whisk and cook until a creamy sauce forms. If sauce is too thick you can add a 1/4 warm milk at a time until desired thickness.

  7. 7

    Remove from heat, taste. Add pepper and salt if you feel it's needed. Both cheeses are salty. You can add the full amount called for or just to taste.
