Ok, so since we all love a one pot meal Im sharing another of my favorite recipes. This recipe came about from my love for pasta and cheese (duh!).
But I decided to play around and make it a little heartier and delicious by adding some extra ingredients. This easy and delicious recipe will become a favorite of yours, I promise!
Below find ingredients and directions. Enjoy!
Ingredients
1 lb Hot Ground Pork Sausage
1 cup grated mozzarella
1 cup velvet cheese
1 cup cream cheese
1 box of cavatappi pasta
1 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup of panko bread crumps
1 tbsp of butter
Salt, pepper and paprika (or cumin) to taste
Directions
In a medium/high heat skillet cook ground pork until nice and brown. I personally like daring the excess grease for this recipe in particular since we want a liquors and creamy cheese sauce that isn’t too oily.
Meanwhile boil pasta 8 minutes or until al dente. Do not over cook pasta or we cannot be friends!
Drain pasta and return to medium/low heat. Add all cheeses, heavy cream, sausage and spices and mix gently with spatula until all ingredients are evenly distributed into a creamy and delicious concoction.
In a small medium heat pan add butter and bread crumps. Stir continuously until bread crumbs start to crisp up and get golden brown.
Transfer pasta mix to baking pan. Sprinkle bread crumps on top and bake for 15 minutes at 375.
Serve and enjoy!
*I personally love adding some green onion, tomatoes and sour cream when serving*
