Steps:
- Place water, salt, onion, garlic and bay leaf in a saucepan. Turn heat to medium-high. Once the water starts boiling, add the pasta. Cook for 10 minutes. Drain and reserve the onion and garlic.
- Place cheese, roasted bell pepper, evaporated milk and reserved onion and garlic into your blender pitcher. Process until you have a smooth sauce. Set aside.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat, making sure not to burn it. Once it has melted, add the cheese and bell pepper sauce. Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring from time to time. Season with salt and pepper.
- Mix the pasta with the sauce and cook for another 2 more minutes, just enough time to mix well.
- Serve immediately. Add some crushed pepper, if desired. If you don't plan to serve it right away,
- add a couple of tablespoons of milk when reheating, since the sauce tends to get dry when cold.

Steps:
- SPRAY crockpot with cooking spray.

- SERVE -- topped generously with green onions and crushed tortilla chips! Be sure to turn off the crockpot or switch to the warm setting, so the pasta doesn't get mushy.
