Chili Cheddar Penne

1 box whole wheat penne pasta
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp flour
2 cups milk
3-4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 taco seasonings package
½ tsp salt
2 cup frozen corn, thawed
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can (4 oz) chopped green chilies, drained

Cook the pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour until smooth; gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir constantly for 2 minutes or until thickened.

Reduce heat to medium. Stir in the cheese, taco seasoning and salt. Cook and stir for 2-3 minutes or until cheese is melted. Drain pasta; stir into cheese sauce. Add corn, tomatoes, and chilies. Cook and stir until heated through.

** It is spicy but very tasty. Acadia LOVED it!

*** I might try adding black beans to this next time.
