Comment préparer Pimiento Mac And Cheese

**Prepare the Pepper Mixture:** In a small saucepan, bring 1/2 cup water, 1 medium bell pepper (chopped), and 1 1/2 cloves garlic (minced) to a boil.
Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the pepper is tender, about 15 minutes.
**Make the Panko Topping:** In a skillet over medium-high heat, toast 1 cup panko breadcrumbs until golden brown, stirring frequently (5-6 minutes).
Transfer the toasted panko to a bowl and let cool to lukewarm.
Stir in 1 tablespoon butter and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese until combined.
**Blend the Cheese Sauce:** Transfer the cooked bell pepper mixture to a food processor.
Add 1/2 cup drained peppadew peppers (roughly chopped), 1 tablespoon peppadew brine, 2 tablespoons butter, 1 teaspoon ancho chile powder, and 1/2 clove garlic (minced).
Add 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
Blend until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
**Cook the Pasta:** Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Cook 1 pound pasta (elbow macaroni or your favorite shape) in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain.
**Combine and Bake:** Return the cooked pasta to the pot. Stir in the cheese sauce and 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese.
Season with salt and pepper.
Pour the pasta mixture into a buttered 8-cup baking dish.
Sprinkle evenly with the panko topping.
Bake for 25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crisp, and the sauce is bubbling.
Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
