In a book I've been reading, they talk about a spicy beefalo and noodle recipe. I have no idea what was in it, but beef and noodle sounded interesting. So here is my take.
So I did all this in one pot. My faithfull big pot. This let me cook my pasta, do my veggies and meat, add in my cheeses and milks.. and then put the entire pot into the oven!
Spicy Beef Noodle
1 box of Rotini (uncooked)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoons dried thyme
1 jalepeno pepper (minced not seeded)
1 1/2 teaspoons smoked hungarian paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup diced onion (finely)
1 pound ground beef
2 tablespoons flour
2 cans diced tomatoes with mild green chilis
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 ounces smoked gouda
2 ounces habanero jack
2 ounces jalapeno jack
salt
Grind of pepper
Whoops, I almost forgot. I'm going to stir in a handful of fresh chopped basil in at the end of the cooking, after it's out of the oven. The heat should cause the basil to completely wilt while leaving all that flavor.
