Ingredients
- 1 box Barilla® Gluten Free Penne Pasta
- 1-2 teaspoons olive oil
- Aidells® Chicken & Apple Sausage
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 shallot minced
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1/3 cup flour
- 3 cups milk
- 3 cups smoked gruyere shredded
- 1 cup parmesan grated or shredded
Instructions
- Prepare pasta as directed on the box, drain and drizzle 1-2 teaspoons of olive oil to prevent the noodles from sticking together and set aside. While pasta is cooking, prepare sausages.
- Cut sausages into ½-inch thick slices. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add 1-2 tablespoons olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add sliced sausages and cook until a nice golden brown, turning every couple of minutes to make sure that each side is cooked, about 7-8 minutes. Remove sausages from pan and set aside.
- In a large pot or skillet - I used the skillet from cooking the sausages - add butter, minced shallot and garlic. Cook over medium high heat until butter has completely melted.
- Add in flour and whisk to combine. Slowly add in milk. Stir together and reduce heat to medium, bringing to a slow rolling bowl; stir often so the sauce does not burn to the bottom of the pan.
- Once it is brought to a slow boil, add in the gruyere and parmesan cheese. Simmer over medium heat, and stir in the cooked sausages. Remove from heat and stir in pasta.
- Serve. I garnish with a sprig of rosemary for color. You could also use basil or parsley. Enjoy!
