MEXICAN STYLE MAC AND CHEESE

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.
