Procedimiento

  1. Precaliente el horno a 375 grados F. Cubra un recipiente de 6 tazas de medida con el aceite en aerosol y reserve.
  2. En un tazón separado, añada las migas de pan, el queso parmesano y mezcle. Deje la mezcla a un lado.
  3. En una olla grande, hierva 4 cuartos de galón de agua. Agregue la pasta y cocine durante 10 minutos, hasta que esté ligeramente al dente. Escurra en un colador, y reserve.
  4. Mientras se cocina la pasta, caliente la leche en el microondas o en una cacerola pequeña, hasta que se cocine al vapor, y deje a un lado.
  5. En una cacerola grande, derrita la mantequilla a fuego medio. Agregue la harina y cocine durante 1 minuto, batiendo lentamente. Retire del fuego y agregue gradualmente la leche mientras bate para evitar grumos. Regrese la olla al fuego medio-alto y cocine la salsa a fuego lento hasta que espese y tenga una consistencia de yogur batido, aproximadamente 3 minutos.
  6. Agregue el queso Cheddar, la calabaza, la mostaza, los pimientos negros, la pimienta cayena y la nuez moscada (opcional), y revuelva hasta que el queso se derrita por completo.
  7. Mezcle la pasta cocida con la mezcla de queso.
  8. Agregue los macarrones con queso al recipiente que dejo preparado con aceite en aerosol y espolvoree con la mezcla de pan rallado y queso parmesano para cubrir.
  9. Hornee de 15-20 minutos o hasta que las migas de pan estén crujientes y doradas. Sirva inmediatamente.
