on a deadly boring call dreaming about making dinner tonight. I have a guest coming by who will have been in class all day so im hoping to make her something stick-to-your-ribs...slash brain?
anyway i definitely have mac n cheese on the brain so i've been reading some trusted blogs and combining their recipes based on what I have in the fridge/what i want in my mouth.
I'm sure i'll go off and screw with it in additional ways.
(serves 2)
*two small sweet sausage links, i think i have turkey/chicken/apple in the freezer
*1 big clove garlic, roasted in the oven whole or just mince it
*1/4 white or yellow onion, diced
*1/2 lb. pasta, i have the squiggly kind currently in my cupboard, hence the name. not to be confused with rotini
*some dried sage, thyme, nutmeg, whatever youve got thats tasty
*1 big tbsp. butter
*1 heaping tbsp. flour
*3/4 cup whole milk, or more if its not whole...but man up and make it whole
*1/2 cup white wine
*1 cup grated sharp cheddar
*breadcrumbs & grated parmesan, for topping
preheat oven to 375.
roast the garlic
boil the pasta, al dente. set aside
cut sausage into 1/4 inch pieces, sautee with olive oil until slightly crispy
while thats happening melt butter in a pot
add roasted garlic (mash or mince)
and onion, sauteeing until translucent
add flour and let cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly
add spices and 1/2 cup of white wine, stirring
add milk slowly, whisking constantly to create a bechamel
remove from heat and stir in grated cheese
toss pasta with sauce and the sausage pieces
pour everything into a buttered dish
top with breadcrumbs and parmesan
dot with butter if you feel like you havent quite acheived a heart attack yet
bake in oven for 20 minutes or until bubbly and browned
i'll post a picture later if it comes out!
if it doesnt come out youll never bring it up with me again. understood.
