Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pasta

    Cook the Mancini pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Béchamel Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute until bubbly but not browned. Gradually whisk in the milk, continuing to whisk until the sauce thickens and is smooth. Season with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, shredded chicken, fresh-cut corn, diced green chiles, chopped cilantro, and béchamel sauce. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are well coated.

  4. 4

    Add Cheese

    Fold in the shredded Monterey Jack cheese, reserving some for topping.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the mixture to a baking dish, top with the reserved cheese, and bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional fresh cilantro if desired.
