Category: Pasta

serves 4

8 oz macaroni
1 lb andouille sausage, cut into 1/4-inch slices
2 Tbsp flour
2 cups whole milk
1 Tbsp cajun seasoning
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
scallions, sliced
Potato chips, crushed

Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

Cook andouille sausage in a 10-inch skillet until brown. Remove sausage from skillet. Reserve 2 Tablespoons of fat and discard the rest.

Add flour to fat in the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes, until roux is light brown. Slowly whisk in milk and cajun seasoning and continue whisking until the sauce is thick and smooth, about 5 more minutes.

Add the pasta and cheese to the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook, tossing to coat the pasta in the sauce and melt the cheese, about 1 minute.

Top pasta with sliced scallions and crushed chips.
