By now, you’ve almost definitely seen the video of Luke Gatti, the underage, belligerently drunk UConn student who got arrested and reportedly expelled in his quest for “some fucking bacon jalapeño mac and cheese.” But what magical pasta preparation could possibly be worth all the trouble this asshole of a kid went to? We got the recipe from UConn to find out.

First, a refresher in the desperate lengths at least one student was willing to go to for a taste of UConn Union Street Market’s macaroni and cheese.

Surely anything that warrants such rave reviews as...

  • “Just give me some fucking bacon jalapeño mac and cheese.”
  • “Just let me get some fucking mac and cheese, man.”

And the gushing:

  • “Don’t fucking touch me.”

...has to be pretty special. And to Gatti’s credit, official Recipe: 500439, Su Mac and Cheese Jalapeño Bacon does look pretty damn good.

Simple, easy, nothing too fancy. Almost good enough to ruin your entire future livelihood over. Almost.
