How to Make Sausage And 3 Cheese Mac And Cheese
- Preheat your broiler to high.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 pound of your favorite short pasta (elbows, cavatappi, etc.) and cook al dente according to package directions.
- Drain the pasta and set aside.
- While the pasta cooks, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add 1 pound Italian sausage, breaking it up as it cooks. Cook for 4-5 minutes, until browned.
- Remove the sausage from the skillet and drain off all but 3 tablespoons of the fat.
- Return the skillet to the heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced. Season with salt and plenty of black pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
- Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour over the onions and cook for 1 minute.
- Whisk in 2 cups chicken stock and 1 cup half-and-half (or soy milk). Bring to a simmer and season with 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg.
- Stir in 1 cup grated Asiago cheese, 1 cup grated provolone cheese, and stir until melted and smooth.
- Add the cooked pasta and sausage to the cheese sauce. Stir to combine.
- Transfer the mac and cheese to a greased baking dish.
- In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons melted butter, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley.
- Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the mac and cheese.
- Broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and bubbly.
