Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375f.
Step 2
Meanwhile, fill a pot of water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cook pasta for one minute less than directed on package for al-dente. Strain the noodles and rinse in cold water. Set aside.
Step 3
Heat a large oven safe skillet over medium heat. Melt the butter in the skillet and allow to simmer until slightly darkened and fragrant.
Step 4
Whisk in the flour and cook for about a minute before whisking in the milk in batches. Once the milk has been completely whisked in, simmer it until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Step 5
Reserve about a cup of cheese, then add the remaining cheese to the milk mixture. Whisk the mixture until completely smooth. Add the sliced jalapenos and continue simmering for 2-3 minutes, stirring regularly.
Step 6
Pour the cooked pasta into the sauce, and stir until completely combined.
Step 7
Top the pasta with reserved cheese and bake at 375f for 15- 20 minutes.
Step 8
Broil at 400f for 2 -3 minutes, if you like your cheese a little crispier!
