Radiatori
From: £4.95
Method
Cook the radiatori in salted boiling water until al dente, then drain.
Heat the olive oil in a large pan and soften the spring onion for 2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the chipotle paste, tomato purée, garlic powder, onion powder and smoked paprika, cooking for 1 minute to bring out the smoky depth.
Mix the cornflour with a splash of the milk to form a smooth paste, then pour into the pan along with the remaining milk. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens into a silky, pourable consistency. Add the cheddar and stir until melted and glossy. Taste to season with salt and pepper.
Fold through the cooked pasta, black beans and sweetcorn. Top with a handful of extra cheddar and crispy onions.
Place in the oven for 20 minutes until golden and bubbling. Finish with fresh coriander and jalapeños.
