Green Chile Macaroni Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Heat the corn oil in a heavy pan over high heat and saute the diced poblano chile, red bell pepper, red onion, and garlic until just tender. Add the corn kernels and saute quickly. Add the macaroni, poblano puree, cream, and cheese. Stir until all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed. Season to taste and serve.

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.

Stir flour into butter gradually (so it doesn't develop lumps).When flour is incorporated, mix in onion and cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add green chile and any juice; cook until heated through. Raise heat to medium-high and gradually whisk in milk, buttermilk, and salt. Bring mixture to a boil and continue to cook until lightly thickened, stirring occasionally (about 5 minutes). Stir in creamy fresh goat cheese until melted into sauce.
• Remove sauce from heat and immediately mix in remaining cheeses, stirring until melted. Toss macaroni with cheese sauce and spoon into prepared baking dish.
