Notes: I fondly remember how Moremommy (Val) would make Shadow and I macaroni and cheese and kielbasa when we went sailing with her and Grandpa Bob. Nowadays I don't like most mac and cheese, but this pasta with béchamel sauce is an exception. The spices remain muted by the rich cheese sauce but make this a lot more interesting than Velveeta. You can play around with your selection of cheese for this. I like the blend of cheddar and jack because the cheddar gives a sharp cheesy flavor, while the jack has a lovely melted texture and the peppers add flavor. I've also made this with a blend of port cheddar and Wisconsin brick, which was very nice.
