directions

Cook Pasta

Pour water in a large stockpot and add the salt. Bring to a boil then add the macaroni. Cook until al dente, about 6 minutes. Drain and toss with 2 tablespoons butter.

Prepare Cheese Sauce

Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook 4 minutes or until tender. Add chopped chipotle and garlic and cook 1 minute. Sprinkle with flour; cook 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium; add milk, tomatoes and reserved 1-1/2 teaspoons adobo sauce. Cook 3 minutes or until thickened. Pour sauce over cooked pasta and add cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese; stir to combine.

Assemble and Bake

Spoon pasta mixture into a 2-quart baking dish coated with cooking spray; top with breadcrumbs. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until bubbly. Remove from oven.

Make the Breadcrumb Topping

Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large saut pan over medium heat. Add salt. Add breadcrumbs and toast until nice and crunchy, stirring occasionally, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat. Add Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.

Broil and Serve

Sprinkle breadcrumb topping over top of pasta. Return to oven and broil for 2 minutes, until topping browns. Garnish with chopped chives and serve. Recipe created by Parties That Cook www.PartiesThatCook.com
