Do NOT use too many jalepenos. Cheesy Pasta!

Friends, friends friends.

I have learned a hard lesson. Recently I was really craving jalepenos. Like, really craving them. I had my husband pick up about 6 of them on the way home, sliced them up (with the seeds) and just threw them in with some chicken I was making.

Friends. This is bad.

First of all, most of you probably know this, but jalepenos have a very strong oil that can get into your pores. Do. not. put your hands on your face after cutting up 6 jalepenos. You will regret it. I did!

Suffice it to say, our chicken was WAY too spicy. I also managed to get it in my eyes so I was crying, my husband was chocking and trying to drink enough milk to drown away the spice.... I had always heard that jalepenos were bad.. and you could endure immense pain from touching your face after handling them, but I ignored it, friends. I thought I was above that advice. Never again!!!

SO... what do you do when your kitchen is smokey, your house smells of jalepenos and you've finally stopped crying enough to make food?

PASTA!

This is (and Im serious) the easiest cheesy pasta you will ever make. Ever.

Grab ANY pasta. Doesn't matter what kind. Fresh, dry... grab it. Boil some water. Put your pasta in.

In a separate pot melt 2 tablespoons of butter on medium-low. Once your butter is melted, add 2 tablespoons of flour, and constantly stir until its thickened. Cook it until it starts to bubble (but don't let it burn). You are making a cheesy béchamel sauce.

Alright. Now you need to add 1 1/4 cup of heated milk. I suggest using a microwave for that part or heating it before you melt your butter. Either way. After you have cooked the butter and flour, add in your milk. Bring it to a boil, then lower the heat. At this point, add in 1/2 cup grated cheddar and stir it in. Salt and Pepper to taste. Now let it cook for another 2-3 minutes!

By now your pasta should be done, so drain your pasta and either mix it with the cheese sauce or add it on top of your pile of noodles on each plate. Its super easy and delicious and perfect for when you have failed and almost killed you and your husband with spicy jalepenos.


So friends. Don't put  six unseeded jalepenos in with 2 small pieces of chicken and cook them for a long time. They will be spicy and will make you bawl. Learn from my lesson. :)

Until next time friends!! Here's the official recipe below for your Cheesy Pasta!
