Ingredients:
  • 300g macaroni
  • 4 shallots, sliced

  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 40g butter
  • 2 tsp chilli powder
  • 40.00 ml plain flour
  • 250g tasty cheese
  • 400g can large red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • Green salad, to serve
Instructions:
  • Boil the macaroni in a large pot of water until al dente following the package instructions.
  • Heat oil in a medium saucepan, sauté shallots, capsicum, and garlic over medium heat for 5 minutes until softened. Then, transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • Melt butter in a pan. Stir in chili powder and flour. Cook for 1 minute over medium-low heat. Gradually stir in milk until smooth.
