What’s better than jalapeno poppers for an appetizer? Jalapeno poppers for dinner!
When I first made this dish, I cut the milk in half because it seemed like too much but also doubled the pasta because it was too little to pass for 4 servings (st least for me without any sides). It turned out absolutely fantastic but I felt like it would have tasted more like a jalapeno popper if the Parmesan was substituted with more cheddar. I realize that without the Parmesan it’s not really an Alfredo sauce and instead more of a mac and cheese sauce but I’m here for taste, not technicalities!
Since Bob also planned to make this meal, I told him about the modifications I had made and the additional changes I thought would be good (I also suggested cutting the butter in half but he didn’t try that). Turns out I was right about the cheddar making it taste more like a jalapeno popper, in addition to the other changes I had already made. I have written up the recipe to reflect those changes. The picture however, is pre-cheddar increase so the sauce doesn’t have much of a cheddar-colored tint to it. I may need to whip it up again for football viewing tomorrow!
