In a separate pot, add water and broth for the macaroni.

Pour in about 1 tablespoon of broth and bring to a boil.

Add cream (lactose-free) and minced garlic to the pot.

Grate about two-thirds of the Appenzeller cheese and add it to the pot.

Peel and cube the potatoes, then add them to the boiling liquid.

Add half the package of macaroni to the pot with the potatoes and broth.

Stir everything well and reduce heat to medium-low, covering the pot to simmer.

Prepare the bacon by cutting it into small pieces and frying it until crispy.

Once the macaroni and potatoes are cooked, mix in the crispy bacon and chopped parsley.

Serve the dish with the pear compote on the side.
