Instructions

1 Preheat the oven, with heat above 180°C/320°F. Peel the onion, and cut it into
cubes of approximately two centimeters in diameter. Remove the stem from the
yellow peppers, and cut them crosswise in half. With a teaspoon extract the
seeds and the light-colored veins. Cut the peppers into approximately 3 cm
pieces as well.
2 Place the oil in a frying pan, turn on the stove over medium heat, and when it
is very hot add the onion, and the Peruvian yellow pepper, chopped into pieces.
Cook for about six to ten minutes, until the onion and peppers begin to brown.
Turn off the kitchen.
3 In the blender glass, add the fresh cheese, the chopped soda crackers, and the
onions and browned peppers. Add the evaporated milk and blend at maximum speed
for at least three minutes.
4 Beat for three minutes more. The sauce should be a nice and smooth consistency.
If you liquefy it for a short time, it can be sandy. Taste the sauce, and if
necessary, add salt and pepper*. Place the sauce in a bowl, and store it in the
fridge while you cook the pasta.
5 To cook the macaroni, fill a pot with enough water, add salt and oil. Bring it
to the stove over high heat. When the water is bubbling to a boil, add the pasta
and cook for up to four minutes. Prick the pasta with a fork, it must be “al
dente”, or maybe a little hard yet (It will finish cooking in the oven).
6 Strain the macaroni through a pasta strainer and place it in a refractory
container. Cover them with the huancaina sauce, and stir so that the macaroni is
impregnated with the sauce.
7 Sprinkle all the grated fresh cheese on top and bake, on top for about ten
minutes, until the cheese is gratin. You will get perfect Peruvian Mac n Cheese.
If you like, you can serve them on their own, with a little cilantro on top, or
with a piece of roast beef and hard-boiled eggs.
