Thirty-Layer Green Chile Mac and Cheese image

Provided by Aaron May

Categories     side-dish

Time 2h25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 cups "00" flour
4 eggs
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, plus for greasing the casserole dish
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups whole milk
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1 cup shredded Cheddar
1 cup shredded gouda
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
1 clove garlic
1/2 shallot
1 Anaheim chile
1 jalapeno chile
1 poblano chile
1 serrano chile
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • For the pasta: Mound the "00" flour on a clean work surface and make a well in the center. Crack the eggs into the well and beat with a fork. Add the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Slowly work the flour from the edges of well into center until a dough ball starts to form. Knead for 3 to 5 minutes, until very smooth. Wrap in plastic and let rest at room temperature for 30 min.
  • Divide the dough into four pieces and cover with a damp towel. Using a pasta roller set to the thickest (widest) setting, roll one piece of dough out into a sheet. Fold the sheet in half and pass it through the roller again on the same setting. Reduce the setting and repeat, rolling and folding the dough and passing it twice through the machine before going to the next setting. Continue in this manner until the thinnest setting has been used. Repeat with rest of the dough.
  • Let rest on a baking rack for 10 to 15 minutes, until the moisture is reduced by about half.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • For the cheese sauce: Add the butter and all-purpose flour to a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Cook, stirring continuously, until blond and smooth. Whisk in the milk and bring to a boil. Add the mustard, hot sauce and cheeses, slowly at first; cook, whisking, until smooth and combined. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • For the green chile puree: To a blender, add the olive oil and the sherry vinegar, garlic, shallot and chiles. Blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
  • To assemble dish: Bring 4 cups salted water to a boil. Cut the pasta sheets to fit a buttered 10-inch square casserole dish. In batches, cook the pasta sheets for 1 minute in the boiling water; immediately submerge in an ice bath to stop cooking.
  • Spread a ladleful of cheese sauce in the bottom of the casserole dish; arrange pasta sheets on top to fit the dish. Ladle in more cheese sauce, just to cover, then liberally spread with green chile puree. Cover with more pasta sheets. Repeat the layers all the way to the top of the casserole dish. Sprinkle the Parmesan on top.
  • Bake until golden brown and delicious, and the center has reached 160 degrees F, about 15 minutes.

GREEN CHILE MACARONI AND CHEESE



Green Chile Macaroni and Cheese image

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup flour
1 1/4 cup milk
4 oz. Velveeta, cut into cubes
5 oz. medium cheddar cheese, shredded
1/3 - 1/2 cup chopped green chiles
1/4 cup chopped roasted red peppers, patted dry
12 oz. (about 2 cups dry) whole wheat macaroni or rotini noodles
1 cup mexican cheese blend, shredded
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 cup crushed corn flakes

Steps:

  • Cook noodles according to package directions Melt 3 tablespoons butter in large pan over medium heat, then add flour and whisk to combine. Cook flour for 1 minute, then slowly whisk in the milk a bit at a time making sure to whisk all the lumps out. When slightly thickened, add Velveeta and cheddar cheese and stir until melted. Stir in green chiles and roasted red peppers. Mix cooked and drained noodles into the sauce so that all the noodles are covered in sauce. Pour into a casserole dish, cover with the Mexican blend cheese and the melted butter mixed with crushed corn flakes. Place under the broiler for 3-5 minutes until bubbly. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of green chiles. For a mild flavor, use poblano or Anaheim chiles. For a medium flavor, use New Mexico or Hatch chiles. For a hot flavor, use serrano or jalapeño chiles.
  • Roast the green chiles before using them. This will help to bring out their flavor and reduce their bitterness.
  • Use a good quality cheese. A sharp cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese will give the mac and cheese the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the pasta. Al dente pasta is the best texture for mac and cheese.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick and creamy. Use a roux or cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce, if necessary.
  • Season the mac and cheese to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices, such as garlic powder or onion powder, to taste.
  • Top the mac and cheese with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped green onions, or crumbled bacon.
