Instructions

1

Make the mac 'n' cheese

  • Boil a pot of water: Season with a large pinch of salt
  • Drain the pickled sliced jalapeños. Chop the jalapeños and the roasted red pepper strips into small pieces, keeping them separate.
  • Add the elbow macaroni to the pot of boiling water. Cook for 9-11 min, or to your desired doneness. Reserve ¼ cup of pasta water before straining.
  • Pour the béchamel sauce into the empty pasta pot and place over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, then stir in the cream cheese spread, Calabrian garlic confit, red pepper strips, and as many jalapeños as you like. Turn off the heat.
  • Add the macaroni and yellow cheddar cheese. Gently stir until the cheese is melted and the macaroni is coated in the sauce. Stir in spoonfuls of pasta water for a saucier consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
