Skillet Kielbasa Mac and Cheese Penne

I love kielbasa! I prefer it over sausage and try to incorporate into my recipes when I can. This Skillet Kielbasa Mac and Cheese Penne is a spin off of my Spicy Kielbasa Pasta, it’s a great option if you don’t want the extra spice. This is perfectly creamy and the Panko breadcrumbs give just the right amount of crunch! If you prefer sausage or that’s the only thing you have, you can absolutely substitute that for the kielbasa. The great thing about this is that it’s one pan and low prep so you can get it on the table quickly and clean up will be a breeze!  Continue reading “Skillet Kielbasa Mac and Cheese Penne”

Chicken Bacon Fettuccine

Chicken Bacon Fettuccine

I do love me some Fettuccine Alfredo but I like to change it up and add some different ingredients. Three thing we almost always have is chicken, bacon and spinach so combining all three is just easy to do! This sauce isn’t as thick as you would get with a traditional Alfredo sauce but it’s full of flavor thanks to the bacon and the chicken! This is easy and quick to prep so it’s a great weeknight option! It’s also a one pot meal so easy on the clean up too!  Continue reading “Chicken Bacon Fettuccine”

Macaroni and cheese is the ultimate comfort food. But Garlic Bacon Mac and Cheese is even better! It’s so delicious and creamy! This version goes all in on that and adds tons of extra flavor with garlic and bacon to make it even better! This is rich and a perfect side for a special occasion when you want to add a little extra to your table! This recipe calls for mozzarella and cheddar but if you want to add even more flavor, you can switch in gruyere or pepper jack!  Continue reading “Garlic Bacon Mac and Cheese”

Skillet Garlic and Cheese Penne

Let’s not lie to ourselves, cheese is amazing. I love anything cheese! But lately my thing is a creamy, thick cheese sauce! I’ve been working on getting something that just coats pasta perfectly and melts even more in your mouth and this may have done it. The cheese was coating my whisk and I could have just eaten a bowl of it. The nice crusty top gave it an awesome crunch too that helps with the decedent thickness of the cheese!  Continue reading “Skillet Garlic and Cheese Penne”
