Indulge in the creamy richness of Mac e Formaggio con Salsiccia tonight and savor a comforting meal that combines classic Italian flavors with the heartiness of sausage.

1

Begin by boiling a large pot of salted water. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually around 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the pasta and set aside.

2

In a skillet over medium heat, add the sausage and cook until browned and fully cooked, which should take about 10 minutes. Make sure to break it into small pieces. Once cooked, remove from heat and set aside.

3

In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour to create a roux, stirring continuously for about 2 minutes until it turns a light golden color.

4

Slowly pour in the milk while whisking to prevent lumps, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes or until it thickens slightly.

5

Stir in the cheddar cheese until melted and smooth, and season with salt and black pepper. Stir in the cooked pasta and sausage until all ingredients are well combined.

6

Serve hot, topped with grated parmesan cheese.
