Step by Step Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven temperature to 400˚ F. Grease a baking dish.
Step 2
In a skillet, heat the olive oil and cook the chorizo. Drain cooked chorizo on paper towel lined plate. Return the pan to stove and add garlic and corn. Cook for about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Bring a large pot of water to boil. Cook the pasta about 2 minutes or until al dente according to the package directions. Drain in a colander. Return the pasta to the pot and set aside.
Step 4
Meanwhile in a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Whisk in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until light golden, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the milk, cumin, and paprika. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce comes to a low boil and thickens.
Step 5
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cheddar and queso fresco. Whisk until the cheese is completely melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 6
Pour the sauce over the drained pasta and toss to coat well. Transfer to a lightly greased baking dish and top with the mozzarella cheese.
Step 7
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the top is browned and the cheese is bubbling.
Step 8
Let cool at least 5-10 minutes before serving.
