2 teaspoons kosher salt
4 cups whole milk
8 oz grated oaxaca cheese

To make
Are you ready for the most delicious macaroni and cheese of your life? If the cheese will be so long to infuse, can you cook it in Dutch? Maybe this poblano macaroni and cheese will be the only one in your life. If you're not a hot fan, use bell pepper instead of poblano to reduce the spiciness. If you can't find a Mexican one, a regular corduroy will do. This dish can be prepared in a cast-iron skillet or transferred to a 9x13 baking dish. It is better to eat them warm, while all the cheese is still sticky.
Preheat the oven to 425°F.Prepare the pasta according to the directions on the package; strain.Melt the butter in a large 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the poblano; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3 minutes. Add flour and salt; cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add the milk to the skillet; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.Add the oaxaca and corduroy, stirring until the cheese is melted. Add the cream. Add the pasta in portions, stirring constantly.Combine panko and chili powder in a medium bowl. Sprinkle the pasta on top. Bake in the preheated oven until the top is lightly browned and the edges are bubbly, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle with coriander and Fresno chili slices.
