This is yummy stuff! I've been making this for years every autumn and it's my husband's favorite. I made it for dinner last night and thought I'd share the recipe. As you can see, it's not organic or healthy in any way, but I bet you could use healthier ingredients like organic milk and cheese, whole wheat pasta, and organic turkey sausage. If you try it, please leave a comment and let me know what you think :)
Kielbasa Apple Pasta Bake
1 lb rigatoni
2 TBSP Olive Oil
1 large onion, sliced
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 quart milk
3 Fuji apples, cut up into 1 inch cubes
3 cups extra sharp cheddar cheese
1 package fully cooked kielbasa, sliced
Heat oven to 350 and coat a 10 cup baking dish with cooking spray.
In a large deep pot, cook rigatoni.
Meanwhile, in a large saucepan heat oil over med-high heat. Add onion, cook until soft. Stir in flour, cook 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk. Bring to a boil. Boil 1 minute.
Stir in 2 cups of cheese into milk. Stir until melted, then toss pasta, cheese sauce, kielbasa and apples. Spoon into baking dish and bake covered for 30 minutes. Uncover and sprinkle 1 cup of cheese and bake an additional 10 minutes.
