Number Of Ingredients 14

1 lb penne pasta
3 c cherry tomatoes
2 tsp olive oil, plus drizzling
salt and pepper
1 pkg chorizo
6 Tbsp butter
1/2 c all-purpose flour
4 c milk, warm
1 tsp dry mustard
1 Tbsp hot sauce
1 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
2 c shredded monterey pepper jack
1 c sharp white cheddar
1 can(s) french fried onions

Steps:
