Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the peppers, onions and garlic. Season with the salt, black pepper and chile powder. Cook until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle over the flour and stir as you add. Let cook for 1 minute. While whisking, slowly pour in the milk, followed by the cream. Cook until thick and bubbling, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the cheese in handfuls until completely melted. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Stir in the pasta until completely coated. Bowl up and garnish with the green onions.
