This mega creamy Lightened Up Salsa Verde Pepper Jack Macaroni and Cheese is crazy flavorful infused with salsa verde, pepper jack and sharp cheddar and super easy to make! I’ve also included the option to add chicken, corn and zucchini for a complete meal all in one and on your table in under 30 minutes!
Happy National Pasta Day! Today I’m celebrating with this ridiculously delicious Lightened Up Salsa Verde Pepper Jack Macaroni and Cheese because Mexican food + creamy pasta = my dreams come true. And hopefully yours too!
I loooooove Macaroni and Cheese from my Buffalo Chicken Macaroni and Cheese to Beefy Buffalo Mac and Cheese to my Million Dollar Macaroni and Cheese and I loooove salsa verde from my Homemade Salsa Verde to my Salsa Verde Chicken to my Salsa Verde Chicken Enchiladas. So why not combine my two loves and make Salsa Verde Macaroni and Cheese?!
I chose to make this Mac and Cheese a meal in one with the addition of chicken, zucchini and corn that sauté for a couple minutes with some salt and pepper. You can certainly leave the chicken and veggies out or swap out the veggies for whatever you have on hand. Ground beef would also be divine instead of chicken in this Pepper Jack Macaroni and Cheese.
The lightened up Salsa Verde Pepper Jack Sauce – that tastes anything but light – has only 2 tablespoons of butter and no heavy cream so you can feel a little less guilty about eating half the pan. And I ate almost half the pan.
The sauce has a nice kick thanks to the salsa verde and the pepper jack cheese, but shouldn’t be overly spicy for your kiddos. I add ancho chili pepper for even more of a kick and my husband loaded it with hot sauce but I recommend tasting the sauce before adding and heat because even without extra heat its packed with fiestalicious flavor!
To make the quick homemade cheese sauce, simply melt your butter in some olive oil and whisk in some flour, cook for 2 minutes then stir in your salsa verde, milk and evaporated milk. The evaporated milk helps create an incredibly silky sauce that’s not only lighter but doesn’t separate or curdle.
Next, stir in your Cheeses and your optional chicken and veggies and silkilicoius Salsa Verde Pepper Jack Macaroni and Cheese is served!

Hi Jen! Another bowl of delicious comfort food! Having made your Million Dollar Mac n’ Cheese I can testify that your skills in comfort food at an A+! I think the addition of pulled pork would be interesting as I happen to love both good pulled pork and mac n’ cheese!

Kristi says
Can’t wait to try this pasta! My favorite dish to make is bread bowls filled with a marinara based meat sauce.
Gina Godewyn says
My favorite pasta is Mennonite traditional perogie, what we called Wareneki. It’s a cottage cheese perogie, with a homemade pasta dough. We fried our sausage, and then made a gravy with heavy cream in the sausage drippings, and served it on top of the perogies. Sometimes we had a rhubarb sauce to go with it too. It’s the best meal in the world 😉
Tina Quartaroli says
My overall favorite is angel hair with an eggplant puttanesca, but right now I am loving a cheesy, white wine pumpkin sauce with fresh fettucine, or, if we’re in the mood for a more mac and cheese-ish dish, I use dry rotini or fusilli.
Kathy B says
My favorite is mac and cheese or maybe carbonera, of fettucini . . .
Love this pot!
Kathy B says
My favorite is mac and cheese – this recipe looks great. I also have a ton of other favorite pasta dishes that would be great in this beautiful pot.

Hands down my favorite pasta dish to make at home is 4 cheese macaroni and cheese. The gooey cheese covering perfectly al dente pasta is such a comforting dish to make and to consume with family and friends.

Loved this recipe! (As usual) 🙂
I love pasta in any way. Hot,cold, leftovers, anything pasta is for me. It’s hard to choose my favorite pasta but I’m gonna go with your lightened fettuccine alfredo topped with a crispy topping and broiled for a few minutes.

Carolyn in Utah says
My 3 teenage boys are always asking for pesto on fusilli for dinner. My personal favorite is bucatini with poblano -parmesan sauce and shrimp. So delish!
I never really make mac & cheese for my family because it just seems so unhealthy but I’m going to try your recipe with the veggies and chicken– thanks!
Pam says
Will definitely try this one, love the fact that it’s on the lighter side ! I would be shunned if I didn’t say Mom’s mac and cheese is the best !

angelina says
I love the idea of this, and will try it as it, w/o corn. While I understand textures wanting to be in there, the corn just doesn’t work. will give you an update in the future. Thanks for a great spin on mac n cheese! SO tired of “basic” mac n cheese recipes. thanks again for your efforts and the time you put in. it is
GREATLY appreciated! Love your blog!
Patsy Janowitz says
Literally any pasta dish will do. Among the favorites are linguine with white clam sauce and simple spaghetti with just about any sauce.`

This is a “must make” for tonight’s dinner! My family loves pasta, one of their favs is parmesan herb chicken & orzo with a bunch of veggies!
Mary B says
To be honest, any pasta dish is my favorite pasta dish. If it didn’t go straight to my you-know-where, I could have pasta every day, for every meal. At home, when I do indulge, my go to fave has got to be mac & cheese. Out of the blue box or handcrafted with yummy delectable cheeses, I love it all.
Kelsey Garfield says
I’m the biggest Carlsbad Cravings fan!! I know I can trust all these recipes to be easy to follow and DELICIOUS! Carlsbad Cravings is my first go to when looking for recipes. I’m excited to try out this mac and cheese dish!

Ali Gieselman says
I love some pumpkin baked ziti with sage sausage! Especially this time of year!
Kimberly B. says
Nailing my favorite pasta dish down to one is difficult because I love so many! But I have to say, bacon carbonara is a family favorite and so versatile. Have some fresh spinach that’s getting old? Toss it in! Need to use up that last garden tomatoe? Add that too! There’s nothing easier. And don’t forget the bacon, lots of bacon. Nature’s candy!
Deb Jacobs says
I can’t wait to try this mac n cheese recipe! I must admit my favorite pasta to make it home is fettuccine alfredo because it makes the hubby and sons so happy But I love to cook any and all pasta dishes!

Kristen says
Mac and cheese is definitely my favorite! So versatile and this version looks amazing!
Stephanie says
I love to make lasagna in my skillet!
Holli Ewell says
We are big pasta fans in our house! My husband and I both have Italian grandmas, which may contribute to the love affair. Plus my kids all have PKU, so they are on a very strict diet. Over the years they have eaten their special low protein pasta almost every day. We feel pasta goes well with almost anything, but especially like homemade marinara sauce or a good pesto. I have also tried some of your pasta recipes and have loved them all, especially the light creamy sundried tomato one:)
Molly Wade says
I’m known for my homemade baked Mac n cheese! I love making it along with lots of your recipes (I made the French dip sandwichs and salted Carmel apple peanut butter dip). However it would this would be a helpful and awesome addition to my cooking and would take away having to use my goofy old plastic colander
Jessica Gurney says
My Grandma’s homemade lasagna is the family favorite pasta at our house but we probably consume pasta 2-3 times a week. Carbs forever baby! Love this pot and your scrumptious recipes!
Tess B says
I am excited to try this! I pinned it for next week! I love to make a 4 cheese pasta! Anything creamy is my jam!
Kristy tidwell says
Chicken cordon bleu pasta
cheryl larimer says
My favorite at home pasta dish is Beef Stroganoff. The grandkids eat just the buttered noodles and the rest of us eat the meat/sauce. It is such an easy dish to make and is my fall back for company.
Jennifer Scarsi says
Love to make mac and cheese!!!
P.K. says
You are an inspiring cook. I have never understood boxed M&C over homemade. While you are cocking pasta the same way for both you can make a real cheese sauce even if you are not going to bake it in the traditional manner.
Janet St. says
I love macaroni and cheese, there are so many versions and additions that transform it into an “adult” dish. It needn’t be just for kids.
Thanks for the tip about using evaporated milk! I can’t wait to try this recipe!
Deedeegee says
Love all your recipes! My grandchildren love home made Mac and cheese, so will use this reicipe for sure!

Homemade Mac n cheese is the BEST. I can never find cavatappi, anywhere! I’d love one of these pots. And some cavatappi….
Meagan says
I love having lasagna, and I usually make extra to freeze or give away (especially for new moms or people who are sick).
Heather says
First and for most I love your site! Your food is wonderful, flavorful and almost a guaranteed passage straight for my “tried and true” recipe binder. My boyfriend and I are huge fans of your recipes and try a new one almost every week since coming across your site about 6 months ago. I have one complaint… I don’t like your new recipe printer. The old was literally my favorite from all my sites I frequent. It was clean, almost always fit on one page and I like that it printed with your beautiful food pics. They fit and looked great in my recipe binder. This new one is spaced out, now almost always prints on two pages and no more pic. Please.. please go back to the old one, it was so much better.
Jen says
Hi Heather, so sorry for the delay as we just moved and things have been a lot crazy but THANK YOU so much for the super kind comment! I am so honored and flattered that my recipes are such a hit with you both! As far as the new recipe format, I had to change it due to technical reasons but I have passed on your concerns onto my tech guy and I’m hoping he can fix them ASAP! Sorry for the inconvenience cut thank your patience!
Malerie D. says
Love penne with italian sausage

This was delicious! I had leftover salsa verde (from making those delicious creamy white chicken enchiladas) as well as some Monterey Jack cheese. I subbed Monterey Jack for pepper jack. Still delicious. Will be making again. Thanks for the recipe!
Jen says
You’re so welcome Carolyn! I’m so pleased it was a hit!
ashley y. says
My favorite pasta dish to make at home is probably a creamy white wine/mushroom sauce with a fat noodle like fettuccine or tagliatelle.
Geoff Spraguer says
Garlic Shrimp Fettuccini Alfredo is my all time Favorite!
Jessica says
Quick Question: Could this be frozen and then baked it reheat? I’m in the process of putting meals away in our freezer for the birth of our first baby and was thinking this might be a good candidate?
THANKS!
Jen says
Hi Jessica, you are so on top of things! Yes, this should freeze very well. A few tips- make sure you cook your pasta al dente so it is slightly firm to prevent mushiness. To keep the pasta from absorbing too much sauce and making a dry dish, use 25% less pasta so the ratio of sauce to pasta is increased. Hope this helps! Congrats!
Jessica says
AWESOME!! Thank you!! Also. I just stumbled upon your site last week and LOVE your taste! Thanks so much!
Jen says
You are so welcome Jessica! I am glad we are share the same tastes – I know how fun it can be to fins a “foodie kindred spirit” 🙂
Sue says
My favorite pasta to make at home is seafood mac and cheese with shrimp and lobster, but your recipe looks delicious and I can’t wait to try it!! And I would be so excited to win this pan!!
Jen says
That sounds divine Sue!
Heidi says
Just made this, turned out great! Added bacon, 1 clove of garlic, and onion, left out the corn and zucchini. Every recipe I’ve made turns out, thank you!!
Jen says
Hearing that everything you’ve made of mine has turned out is the ultimate compliment! I’m so happy you loved this pasta and your changes sound delicious!!
Kristy says
What can I use instead of evaporated milk? I am lactose intolerant.
I love your meals ..btw!
Jen says
Hi Kristy, I would use chicken broth. Enjoy!
Tami Geiger says
I made this in my Instant Pot for lunch today and it is amazing!

Thank you so much, Tami, I am delighted you enjoyed it! I have been working my way through a backlog of comments and see yours somehow got lost in the mix! I appreciate you and hope you’re well!
Tamara says
This is absolutely delicious! I used ground beef and white cheddar cheese! Yumm! This was so creamy! Kiddos definitely loved it as well! Thank you for such versatile, delicious recipes!
