Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb macaroni (or cavatapi corkscrew shaped pasta)
salt
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (plus some for drizzling)
3/4 lb chorizo sausage, casing removed and diced
2 cups diced fire-roasted tomatoes, drained
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 chipotle chiles in adobo, and their juices chopped (or 1 tablespoon ground chipotle chili)
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups whole milk
1 cup chicken stock
3 cups shredded smoked cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Place a pot of water on to boil for macaroni. When it boils, salt water and cook pasta until a little under done, just shy of al dente.
  • While pasta cooks, place a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil and chorizo.
  • Brown the chorizo then add the canned tomatoes to the pan and heat them through. Remove from heat and reserve.
  • While chorizo begins to cook, heat a medium sauce pot over medium-low heat.
  • Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, then add onions and chipotles and cook 3-5 minutes to sweat it out and turn the juices sweet. Raise heat up a bit, add the flour and whisk together until mixture bubbles up. Cook 1 minute more.
  • Whisk in milk and stock and raise heat up a little more to bring the sauce to a quick boil. Once it bubbles, drop heat back to a rolling simmer sauce to thicken, 3-5 minutes.
  • Drain macaroni or pasta. Add cooked pasta back to the large pot.
  • Add cheese to milk sauce and stir to melt, a minute or so.
  • Stir in chorizo and tomatoes and season sauce with salt and pepper.
  • Pour sauce over cooked pasta in large pot and toss to combine. Transfer to a large serving platter, garnish with chives and serve.

I loved this mac and cheese! The chipotle and cheddar flavors were perfect together and the breadcrumb topping added a nice crunch. I will definitely be making this again.

I made this mac and cheese for my kids and they loved it! They said it was the best mac and cheese they've ever had. The chipotle flavor was mild enough for them, and they loved the crispy breadcrumb topping. I will definitely be making this again.

This mac and cheese was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The chipotle flavor was very strong, so if you don't like spicy food, you might want to use less chipotle powder. The breadcrumb topping was a nice touch.

This mac and cheese was just okay. The chipotle flavor was a bit too strong for my taste, and the breadcrumb topping was a bit dry. I wouldn't make this recipe again.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of chipotle, but I'm so glad I did! The chipotle flavor is very mild and it pairs perfectly with the cheddar cheese. This mac and cheese is now one of my favorites.
