Made this last night, super easy and super quick. Didn't use chilies, kids don't like that much spice. I added garlic, cumin, turmeric n cilantro. They are my usual base seasoning that we all like. I also use beef broth instead of water. Added about 2 cups cheddar n monetary cheese that I shredded. The pasta was a little underdone I decided to put everything in a disposable tray, sprinkled more cheese on top, put under the broil, took it out when cheese bubbly and getting crispy. Sprinkled scallions on top and it was delicious. Will definitely make it again.
