Time 1h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound penne pasta
3 cups cherry tomatoes
2 teaspoons olive oil, plus drizzling
Salt and pepper
1 package chorizo, casings removed and finely chopped
6 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups milk, warm
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cups shredded Monterey pepper jack
1 cup sharp white Cheddar
1 (2.7-ounce) can fried onions

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Cook the pasta in salted, boiling salted water until al dente. Drain in a colander.
  • Add the cherry tomatoes to a sheet tray, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 20 minutes, until visibly plump and softened.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Saute the chorizo in a saute pan until crisp. Remove.
  • Melt 6 tablespoons butter in a large saucepot over medium heat. Add flour, stirring for 1 minute. Whisk in the warmed milk and bring to a boil. Continue to whisk constantly. Stir while adding the mustard, hot sauce and Worcestershire. Stir in the cheese; reserving 1/2 cup for the topping. The mixture will thicken as the heat increases.
  • Pour the drained pasta into the cheese sauce and mix well. Add to a 3-quart casserole dish. Add the chorizo and roasted cherry tomatoes. Top with reserved cheese and the fried onions.

This was a great recipe! The chorizo sausage added a delicious depth of flavor and the cheese sauce was perfectly creamy. I will definitely be making this again.

This was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. The cheese sauce was very flavorful and the chorizo sausage added a nice smoky flavor. I would make this again, but I would use less chorizo next time.

Meh. I wasn't really impressed with this dish. The cheese sauce was bland and the chorizo sausage was too greasy. I won't be making this again.

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but this dish was surprisingly mild. The cheese sauce was very flavorful and the chorizo added a nice smoky flavor. I would definitely make this again, even if I toned down the spice a bit.
