It seems everyone loves mac and cheese. This quick and easy pasta toss combines three types of cheese, plus sausage, for creamy yet hearty texture and flavor. For a more colorful version, stir in spinach. Ingredients:
4 ounces chicken and sun-dried tomato sausage (such as gerhard's), chopped |
1 1/4 cups fat-free milk |
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
3/4 cup (3 ounces) shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese |
1/3 cup (about 1 1/3 ounces) shredded monterey jack cheese |
1/4 cup (2 ounces) 1/3-less-fat cream cheese |
1/2 teaspoon onion powder |
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt |
5 cups hot cooked elbow macaroni (about 8 ounces uncooked pasta) |
chopped fresh parsley (optional) |
Directions:
1. Heat a large nonstick saucepan over medium-high heat. Add sausage; sauté 4 minutes or until browned. Combine milk and flour in a small bowl, stirring well with a whisk. Add milk mixture to pan; bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium. Stir in cheeses, onion powder, and garlic salt; cook 3 minutes or until cheeses melt, stirring constantly. Stir in pasta. Garnish with parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.
