Ingredients
- 1 pound cellentani pasta or noodle of choice, noodles
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 jalapeno pepper seeds and membranes removed, diced
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups milk whole
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- ½ pound American cheese white, diced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground white pepper
- ½ teaspoon cumin ground
- 6 trips Bacon cooked, diced
- ¼ pound American cheese white, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 2-quart baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a medium-sized pot cook the 1 pound cellentani pasta noodles, according to the package directions. Remove from heat when the noodles are just before al dente (they will still have a slight bite to them). Drain noodles and set aside.
- In a large saucepan melt the 3 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Add the 1 diced jalapeño, and cook for about a minute. Whisk in the 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour to create a thick paste. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the flour mixture turns slightly brown.
- Gradually whisk in the 1 ½ cups whole milk and 1 ½ cups heavy cream. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 3 minutes to thicken.
- Add in the 4 ounces cream cheese and stir until cream cheese is melted and smooth. Add in the ½ pound white American cheese diced , and continue stirring while the cheese melts.
- Stir in the 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon ground white pepper, and ½ teaspoon ground cumin, and continue cooking the sauce until it's creamy and smooth and all the cheese is melted.
- Pour the noodles into the cheese sauce and stir to combine. Fold in the 6 strips cooked diced bacon.
- Pour half of the noodles into the preapred baking dish. Place a layer of ¼ pound white American cheese sliced down, then top with the remaining noodles. Bake uncovered for about 15 minutes.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
