Time 35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni
1 rotisserie-roasted chicken
6 tablespoons butter
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups milk
1 pinch ground black pepper
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
½ cup hot sauce (such as Frank's® Redhot®), or more to taste
½ cup crumbled gorgonzola cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, 8 minutes. Drain.
  • Cut wings and legs off rotisserie chicken. Skin and bone wings and legs; chop or shred dark meat into bite-size pieces.
  • Melt butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Whisk in flour gradually until a thick paste forms. Cook until golden, about 1 minute. Pour in milk, whisking constantly, until thickened and bubbling, about 5 minutes. Continue to cook until sauce is smooth, about 1 minute more. Reduce heat and season sauce with black pepper.
  • Stir Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese into the sauce until melted and combined. Stir in hot sauce, adjusting to reach desired level of spiciness. Add blue cheese, chicken, and macaroni; mix well to combine.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 pound penne pasta
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus 1 tablespoon
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 leeks, thinly sliced
Bechamel Sauce, recipe follows
1/2 cup Gorgonzola, crumbled
1/4 cup grated Asiago
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 clove garlic, smashed
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups milk
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Pinch freshly ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a large pot of boiling salted water cook the pasta until al dente, drain and set aside.
  • In a skillet over medium heat melt 2 tablespoons of butter and oil and cook the leeks until tender but not browned. In a bowl combine the cooked leeks with the Bechamel Sauce, Gorgonzola, Asiago, thyme, oregano, and parsley. Toss the sauce with the pasta until well coated and season, to taste.
  • Grease a 9-inch springform pan with the remaining butter. Fill the springform pan with the pasta mixture and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 40 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes before removing from the pan and slicing.
  • In a heavy bottomed pot over medium heat, melt the butter and saute the garlic for 2 minutes until fragrant, but not brown. Remove the garlic and discard. Reduce the heat to low and whisk in the flour to make a roux, cook for 4 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
  • Heat the milk to just below boiling. Pour 1 cup of milk into the roux, whisking constantly as the sauce thickens. Add the rest of the milk, in 1/2 cup portions, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Simmer the sauce over low heat for 8 minutes, stirring the bottom of the pot with a spatula to prevent burning. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the cheese, kosher salt and nutmeg to finish the sauce.
