Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare a 1 qt baking dish for your mac n cheese. I use the disposable lasagna dishes during the holidays so that I can easily take to my family's houses.
Cook macaroni as directed on package and drain. Cook pancetta in a skillet with olive oil and set aside on a paper towel.
Melt 3 tbsp butter in a large pot. Whisk in flour, stir in milk slowly, and cook, stirring constantly, until flour is completely mixed in. Add seasonings and cheese, stirring until cheese is melted.
Add macaroni, stir well, and transfer to your baking dish.
Grind bread crumbs in a food processor or just crumble. Combine bread crumbs and 1 tbsp. melted butter. Sprinkle over macaroni.
Bake at 400°F for 20 minutes.
