Pour into a heavily greased 3 quart baking dish. Add 1 tablespoon of the chopped chives and 1 teaspoon of the chopped thyme and combine thoroughly. Drain pasta and add to the béchamel/cheese mixture. It’s going to continue cooking in the oven. I used penne and cooked it for about 9 or 10 minutes. It depends on what type of pasta you are using.

Add pasta to boiling, heavily salted water and cook until it’s a bit underdone.

Add everything back to the béchamel in the sauté pan and stir to combine thoroughly and insure cheese is completely melted. Continue to add ladlefuls until the egg mixture is up to temperature with the béchamel.

Once the mixture starts to bubble, reduce heat to low and cook for 8 to 10 minutes whisking often. Add milk and spices and continue to whisk to prevent lumps (remember to get the corners!).

I also use a half of a habanero pepper here, but feel free to use as much or as little as your heat tolerance permits – other peppers would work well here too. Traditionally, this pie uses full-on spaghetti, but I personally prefer penne because it’s easy to eat, and I love when the center fills with the creamy sauce. Macaroni pie is like a blank slate that you can totally personalize. It’s great because it can be assembled ahead of time if you are going over to someone else’s house.

It’s a delectably spicy mac and cheese that is baked and served casserole-style.

My husband’s family always does the most delicious macaroni pie, a staple dish from Trinidad. Ours is a whole day affair with people stopping by at different points in the meal, card games at the kitchen table later followed by a second session of eating in the evening. My family always does it big down in Florida, and I love the coming together of friends and family of all ages, the hustle in the kitchen with my mom and me and other intruders…I mean, helpers ?, the beautiful cool, fall weather (yes, even in Florida). Thanksgiving is by far my favorite holiday of the year.
