Why recepie famous for?

Cheese is simple and has lots of flavor from the cheeses and ground chipotle chile. I use conchiglie pasta because its shape allows more melted cheese to pool inside. Yum!

Ingredients

1 package (16 ounces) small pasta shells
1/2 cup butter, cubed
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon ground chipotle pepper
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 cups 2% milk
2 cups shredded sharp white cheddar cheese
2 cups shredded Manchego or additional white cheddar cheese

Instructions

In a 6-qt. stockpot, cook pasta according to package directions. Drain; return to pot.
Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and seasonings until smooth; gradually whisk in milk. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir until thickened, 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in cheeses until melted. Add to pasta; toss to coat.
