Categories     Pork

Time 25m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 ounces extra-lean kielbasa or 4 ounces smoked turkey sausage
1 cup dried elbow macaroni
2 teaspoons unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 cup nonfat milk
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 cups finely shredded 75% light cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a medium pot of lightly salted water to a full boil.
  • Cut the sausage into 1/4-inch thick slices.
  • Add the macaroni and the sausage to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until the macaroni is cooked al dente, about 5 to 6 minutes. (It should still have a bit of bite to it.) Drain.
  • Meanwhile, mix the flour with just enough milk to form a paste in a small bowl. Slowly add the remaining milk, stirring as you do, making sure to remove any lumps. Place a medium saucepan over medium heat. Pour the milk mixture into the saucepan. Stir in the salt. Add the cheese and continue to stir the mixture with a wooden spoon until the cheese is completely melted and the mixture starts to thicken. When the mixtue is almost smooth, stir in the cooked macaroni and sausage until it is well incorporated. Serve immediately.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with a lighter cheese sauce.

I made a few substitutions to the recipe (I used cheddar cheese instead of mozzarella) and it still turned out great. This is a very versatile dish.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The cheese sauce was a bit bland and the sausage was a bit dry.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The smokiness of the sausage pairs perfectly with the creamy cheese sauce.
