Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Cook the penne
Bring a medium sauce pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add the penne and cook until just tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain and set aside.
While the water is heating and the penne is cooking, prepare the chili.
2
Cook the chili
- Rinse the white beans and kidney beans.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Stir in the mirepoix and chili spice blend, season with salt and pepper, and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the beans, tomatoes, and 1 cup [1½ cups] water and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mirepoix is tender and the chili thickens, 7 to 9 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the lime yogurt.
3
Make the lime yogurt
- Zest the lime and juice half, keeping the zest and juice separate; save the remaining half for another use. [Zest both limes and juice ½ lime; save the remaining 1½ zested limes for another use.]
In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, lime zest, and 1½ teaspoons [1 TBL] lime juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
4
Prep the remaining ingredients; finish the chili mac ’n’ cheese
- Set aside ¼ cup [½ cup] cheddar for garnish.
- Trim the root ends from the scallions; thinly slice the scallions on the diagonal for garnish.
Remove the chili from the heat. Add the penne and all except ¼ cup [½ cup] cheddar and stir until the cheese is melted. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Transfer the chili mac ’n’ cheese to individual bowls. Garnish with the lime yogurt, scallions, and remaining cheddar and serve.
