Poblano Mac And Cheese
- 8 ounces uncooked penne pasta
- 2 poblano chiles (about 4 ounces)
- 1/3 cup fresh breadcrumbs
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon grated lime rind
- 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
- 1 cup 1% low-fat milk, divided
- 1 cup unsalted vegetable stock
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 5 ounces queso quesadilla cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup fat-free sour cream
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 3/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- Cooking spray
- Preheat broiler to high.
- Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat; drain.
- While pasta cooks, cut chiles in half lengthwise; discard seeds and membranes. Place chile halves, skin sides up, on a foil-lined baking sheet; flatten with hand. Broil 6 minutes or until blackened. Place in a paper bag; fold to close tightly. Let stand 5 minutes. Peel and cut into bite-sized pieces.
- Combine breadcrumbs, oil, rind, and red pepper in a bowl. Place 3/4 cup milk, stock, flour, and garlic in a saucepan, stirring with a whisk. Bring to a boil; cook 3 minutes or until thick, stirring frequently. Remove from heat. Stir in chiles, 1/4 cup milk, cheese, and next 4 ingredients until smooth. Stir in pasta. Spoon mixture into an 8-inch square broiler-safe glass or ceramic baking dish coated with cooking spray. Top with breadcrumb mixture. Broil 1 minute or until browned.
