It only took 3 months but here it is! lol
There are many other ways to make good macaroni but this is my mom's favorite way of making it and the only way I know how. It's with a bechamel sauce. Enjoy!

| Some ingredients |
2 boxes of rigatoni pasta
2 onions
1 green bell pepper
1 red bell pepper
1 package of ham/turkey/ whatever
2 packages of grated cheese. I used mozarella and a mix of Italian 4 cheeses. (btw my mom always say the best cheese to use is called "tete de boeuf" so if you can find that, use that!
1/4 cup flour
cilantro
3 cans of evaporated milk
2 Tbsp butter
Step 1: Boil pasta al dente. I always let the water boil with 2 garlic cloves before i put the pasta
Take out pasta and add a little butter. Put aside
Step 2: Preheat oven to 350 degrees
In different pot, sautee chopped onions in a small amount of butter
Step 3: Add flour gradually and stir with a wooden spoon at the same time
Step 4: Add canned milk, cilantro, slices of green and red pepper, and 2 maggi cubes (you can ommit the maggi but it really gives it flavor) and optional scotch bonnet pepper
Step5: Stir mixture on medium heat until it starts thickening up ~ 10 minutes
Step 6: Set bechamel aside and add the rest of the chopped onions, along with the peppers and ham to the pasta
Step 7: Add cheeses and stir
Step 8: Now add the bechamel sauce to the pasta.
Step 10: Grease pan with butter and put the macaroni in oven. Bake until golden ~ about an hour
Check periodically... it might take longer
and Voila!
Always turns out good for me. I ate mine with oven baked wings and pikilz with some good passion fruit juice. Ahhh happiness
