Contrary to popular belief, a «Macaroni and Cheese» dish is unknown in Italy. However we do have several cheese sauces for pasta. Here is a spicy version of this comfort-food classic.
170 g | pipe rigate, or other short-cut pasta | 2 1/2 cups | |
2 tsp | butter, unsalted | 9 g | |
1/3 | dried chili peppers, minced | 0.2 g | |
2 tsp | white flour (all purpose) | 5 g | |
1/3 cup | milk, partly skimmed, 2% | 85 mL | |
1 tsp | whole-grain mustard | 5 g | |
2/3 cup | Cheddar cheese, grated | 50 g | |
4 tsp | Parmesan cheese, grated | 4 g |
Keep the serving dishes in the oven at the lowest setting so they are warm when you serve.
Put a colander in the sink to drain the cooked pasta so that it will be ready when needed.

Quick and de-li-cious! I happened to have all the ingredients ready and made a perfect weeknight dinner.
I didn't have mustard so I just omitted it. This was wickedly good. I'll definitely be making it again!
I am an awful cook so the first time I made this it tasted not so good. The second time around it was a great succes. I will do it again.
