Hey y'all,

This one's coming straight out of the fridge/freezer/pantry ingredients above.

Glen is my ex-husband. We met when we were in high school and went to college together. But for his ability to boil water, he might have starved. Lucky for him, that was all he needed to know in order to prepare his favorite dish: Kraft Mac n Cheese with Wieners.

I put together this variation on that great bachelor theme later in life. You don't need to be able to do much more than boil water for this one.

prep time: about 15 minutes

y'all will need:

2 cups pasta - frozen precooked (thawed in boiling water) or cooked and drained (you can set it to boil while you're doing the sauce)
2 andouille sausages
2/3 package cream cheese (I use the 1/3 less fat kind)
milk or 1/2 and 1/2
dijon mustard
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
ground cayenne pepper
granulated garlic
salt to taste

In a pot on medium low heat melt the cream cheese and parmesan together. Add milk or 1/2 and 1/2 to loosen up the texture to a thick sauce-like consistency. Add a dollop of mustard, a dash of cayenne and garlic.

Cut sausages on a slant.

Add sausages and pasta to the mix. Stir until all is properly heated. Salt if needed.

Serves 2 as a side dish or 1 as main. Goes well with a handful of mixed salad greens from the bag in the crisper (see REFRIGERATOR inventory above).


Enjoy!
