Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Kosher salt
12 ounces gemelli, cavatappi or other spiral-shaped pasta
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon dry mustard
Pinch of cayenne pepper
1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
1/2 cup whole milk
3/4 cup shredded yellow sharp cheddar cheese
3/4 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, chives and/or scallions

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil; add the pasta and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes. Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour, mustard and cayenne and stir with a wooden spoon to make a paste. Cook, stirring, until the paste puffs slightly, about 1 minute. Whisk in both milks and 1/2 teaspoon salt and simmer, whisking occasionally, until slightly thickened and creamy, 6 to 7 minutes. Add the cheddar and jack cheeses and all but 2 tablespoons of the parmesan and whisk until melted; keep warm. Combine the panko, herbs and/or scallions, 1 tablespoon butter and the remaining parmesan in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave until the butter melts, about 1 minute; toss. Drain the pasta, reserving about 1 cup cooking water, and return to the pot. Toss with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, then stir in the cheese sauce, adding the reserved cooking water if needed. Season with salt and top with the breadcrumb mixture.

Tips:

  • To achieve the best results, ensure your puff pastry dough is cold and firm before assembling the spirals. This will prevent the dough from becoming too soft and difficult to handle, resulting in a flaky and crispy pastry.
  • Do not overfill the spirals with the chili and cheese mixture. Too much filling can cause the spirals to burst open during baking, resulting in a messy and unappetizing appearance.
  • To create a golden brown and even crust, brush the tops of the spirals with an egg wash before baking. This will help the pastry to brown beautifully and develop a crispy texture.
  • Keep a close eye on the spirals while they are baking to prevent overcooking. Overcooked spirals will become dry and tough, so remove them from the oven as soon as they reach a golden brown color.
  • Allow the spirals to cool slightly before serving. This will make them easier to handle and prevent the filling from spilling out.

Conclusion:

Chile n' Cheese Spirals are a delightful and versatile appetizer or snack that are sure to be a hit at any gathering. With their flaky pastry, flavorful filling, and cheesy topping, these spirals are a true crowd-pleaser. Whether you are hosting a party, looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, or simply craving a cheesy and satisfying treat, these Chile n' Cheese Spirals are the perfect choice. So gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and get ready to indulge in this delicious and irresistible dish!
