Time 1h15m

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:

  • 1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • 2. Cook the pasta in salted, boiling salted water until al dente. Drain in a colander.
  • 3. 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.
  • 4. 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.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The chorizo sausage adds a nice depth of flavor to the macaroni and cheese. I also like to add some diced tomatoes and onions to the dish. It's a great way to use up leftover choriz

This recipe was easy to follow and the macaroni and cheese turned out great! I used a mild chorizo sausage, so the dish wasn't too spicy. I also added some shredded cheddar cheese to the top before baking. It was a delicious and comforting meal.
