Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7
Deseed your peppers (scrape the seeds and pith out with a teaspoon) and cut into thin strips
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick with a matching lid) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium heat
Once hot, add the sliced peppers and cook, covered, for 4-5 min

Meanwhile, boil a kettle
Peel and slice your red onion[s]
Add the sliced onion to the pan with a pinch of salt and cook, covered, for a further 4-5 min

While the onion is cooking, add your macaroni to a pot of boiled water with a generous pinch of salt and bring to the boil over a high heat
Cook for 7 min or until cooked with a slight bite
Once done, drain the cooked macaroni, reserving a cup of the starchy pasta water

Combine your panko breadcrumbs, ground smoked paprika and a pinch of salt – these are your smoky breadcrumbs
Grate your cheddar flavour block

Drain your sweetcorn

Once the onion has softened, add your chipotle paste (can't handle the heat? Go easy!), tomato paste, drained macaroni, drained sweetcorn, creamy single soy, vegetable stock mix, a pinch of salt and 1 tbsp [1 1/2 tbsp] [2 tbsp] of starchy pasta water, then cook for 3-4 min or until the sauce has thickened
Once thickened, take the pan off the heat and stir in the grated cheeze, then give everything a good mix up – this is your smoky chipotle mac 'n' cheeze

Transfer the smoky chipotle mac 'n' cheeze to an oven-proof dish
Top with the smoky breadcrumbs and put the dish in the oven for 10 min or until bubbling and crispy

Remove the smoky chipotle mac 'n' cheeze from the oven and leave to stand until cooled slightly (this helps the flavours to develop and makes it easier to serve!)
Serve the smoky chipotle mac 'n' cheeze
Enjoy!
