Ingredients

Arla® B.O.B Semi Skimmed Milk	400 ml
Chorizo	30 g
Cheddar cheese (Mature)	120 g
Spicy cheese	30 g
Button mushrooms	6
Broccoli florets	4
Mixed spices to taste
Jalapeño chillies to taste
Fresh fresh parsley to serve
Pasta	400 g

Instructions

Step 1

Fry the chorizo in a large deep pan over medium heat until it's just starting to soften and release its oils.

Step 2

Add your diced and deseeded jalapeños and fry for a couple of minutes until soft. Drain away any excess fat if necessary, then melt in 3 tbsp butter.

Step 3

Stir in 3 heaped tbsp flour until a paste forms, then very gradually stir in 1 litre of Arla B.O.B Milk and whisk so there are no lumps.

Step 4

Add 1 tbsp mustard, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp cayenne and 1 tsp hot sauce, then allow to bubble until thickened, stirring occasionally. Feel free to adjust the spices to your own taste!

Step 5

It's important to thicken the sauce before adding the cheese, so make sure it's ready before moving on the the next steps.

Step 6

Preheat oven to 200C and cook 400g pasta in salted boiling water for a couple of minutes less than it says on the packet (it'll cook more in the oven later).

Step 7

Once thickened, take the pan off the heat and stir in your cheese. Taste for seasoning and add more if needed.

Step 8

Stir in your pasta and transfer to a baking dish. It might seem overly stringy/saucy but will smooth out in the oven.

Step 9

Top with the rest of your parmesan, 30g of breadcrumbs, then the rest of your jalapeños. Finish by spraying with oil then pop in the oven for 20-25mins or until golden and bubbly.
