Pimiento Mac and Cheese with Chicken Sausage Total: 30 min Active: 15 min Yield: 4 servings Level: Easy Ingredients Kosher salt 8 ounces elbow macaroni 1 bunch broccolini (about 8 ounces), chopped 3 tablespoons unsalted butter 3 links sweet Italian chicken sausage (about 2 1/2 ounces each), casings removed 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 3/4 cups milk 3 ounces cream cheese 1 3/4 cups shredded cheddar cheese (about 7 ounces) 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1 4-ounce jar chopped pimientos, drained 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs Directions Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs, adding the broccolini during the last 2 minutes of cooking. Drain and set aside. Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a medium ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage; cook, breaking up the meat, until lightly browned and cooked through, about 6 minutes. Remove the sausage to a plate using a slotted spoon. Add the flour to the drippings in the skillet; cook, stirring, until incorporated, 1 minute. Whisk in the milk. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Whisk in the cream cheese until smooth, then stir in the cheddar, cayenne and 1/2 teaspoon salt until melted and smooth, about 1 minute. Stir in the pasta and broccolini, sausage and pimientos. Preheat the broiler. Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the microwave; stir in the panko and sprinkle the mixture over the pasta. Broil until golden brown, about 3 minutes.
