Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a single layer place cornbread crisps on a baking sheet and sprinkle with shredded parmesan and chopped basil. Bake for approximately 7-9 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven to cool.

When cool enough to handle, use clean fingers to crumble the cornbread crisps, basil and parm together. Set aside until ready to use.

Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the 2 tablespoons of butter and once melted, add the diced onion and stir to coat in the butter. Continue to cook the onions for approximately 5-6 minutes, or until they just start to soften, stirring frequently. Add the minced garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook the garlic with the onions for approximately 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add the sliced mushrooms and pancetta to the onions and mix well. Allow mixture to cook together for approximately 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set aside.

In a large sauce pan over medium heat, melt butter until it just starts to sizzle. Slowly whisk in the the flour (do not stop whisking!) to create a roux (it will resemble a paste). Cook the roux for approximately 2 minutes, or until it is a light golden brown (take care not to burn!). Whisk in the cayenne and cook for an additional minute before slowly whisking in 1 cup of cold milk until fully incorporated with the roux. Whisk in the remaining three cups of milk and add the lemon zest, salt and pepper.

Stir continually for approximately 6-7 minutes, until mixture is heated through (but never boiling!) and starting to thicken.

Add the cheese to the pot and stir until all the cheese has just melted.

Remove from heat.

In a pot or bowl large enough to hold all the ingredients, combine the pasta with the béchamel, mushroom and pancetta mixture, corn, basil and feta.

Stir until fully combined.

Serve desired amount in individual serving bowls and top with the cornbread crisp topping.
