Break the macaroni into small pieces and cook according to the instructions on the packet until al dente. Then pour off.
In the meantime, cut the bacon into cubes or slices and fry in a large pan (without fat!) Until it is lightly brown. Regulate the heat, add the finished noodles and season with pepper. Depending on your taste, you can also add a little salt, but since the bacon is quite salty, this is usually not necessary.
Then fold the sour cream into the pasta and distribute the grated Gouda cheese over the pasta. Continue to fry the pasta while stirring until the cheese has melted. Serve hot.
