Macaroni and Cheese with Sausage
16-oz pkg penne pasta (whole grain is okay)
1/2 lb Italian sausage or turkey sausage
3 cups milk
3 tbs butter
3 tbs. all-purpose flour
salt and pepper, to taste
1-1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded gruyere cheese (Swiss is good too)
1/2 cup shredded asiago cheese (Parmesan works)
1 cup Panko bread crumbs (regular will do)
1 tbs butter, melted
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 x 13 baking dish. Cook pasta according to package directions for al dente. Drain. Set aside. Meanwhile, cut sausage into 1/2-inch pieces. Brown in a skillet. Set aside. Place milk in a microwave-safe container. Heat on high 90 seconds. Set aside.
