Comment préparer Jalapeno Pepper Mac N Cheese
- Preheat your oven's broiler.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 pound of elbow macaroni and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain the pasta and set aside.
- While the pasta cooks, heat 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 2 minced jalapenos, 1 minced serrano pepper (optional), and 2 minced cloves of garlic. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of cumin (optional).
- In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of whole milk, 4 ounces of softened cream cheese, and 1/4 cup of finely chopped yellow onion. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the cream cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth, about 5 minutes.
- Add the cooked pasta and the jalapeno-serrano mixture to the cheese sauce. Stir in 2 cups of shredded Monterey Jack cheese until melted and creamy.
- Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Transfer the mac and cheese to a greased baking dish. Broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
