Baked Penne With Sausage And Garlic Recipe

	Bluexoxo / All my dishes 8 months, 4 weeks ago Ooey Gooey yummy comfort food. I use crushed garlic in a jar to save me time. If I had the time, I would use the heads of garlic just to get the roasted flavor. I hope you enjoy. Prep:30m Cook:15m Servings:10	Bluexoxo

Ingredients

2 whole garlic heads or 3 tbs of crushed garlic

1 pound sweet Italian sausage

1 teaspoon chopped fresh or 1/4 teaspoon dried sage

1 teaspoon chopped fresh or 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary

2 tablespoons butter or stick margarine

1/3 cup all-purpose flour

6 cups 1% low-fat milk

1 cup (4 ounces) grated fresh Parmesan cheese

2/3 cup (about 2 1/2 ounces) shredded Gruyère or Swiss cheese

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

8 cups hot cooked penne (about 1 pound uncooked tube-shaped pasta) or rigatoni

Cooking spray

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°.

Remove white papery skin from garlic heads (do not peel or separate the cloves). Wrap each head separately in foil. Bake at 350° for 1 hour; cool 10 minutes. Separate cloves; squeeze to extract garlic pulp. Discard skins. Set garlic aside.

Increase oven temperature to 400°.

Remove casings from sausage. Cook sausage in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until browned, stirring to crumble. Remove from pan with a slotted spoon. Place sausage in a large bowl; stir in sage and rosemary.

Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Add the flour to melted butter, stirring with a whisk. Gradually add the milk; cook until slightly thick, stirring constantly with a whisk (about 10 minutes). Stir in roasted garlic, cheeses, salt, and pepper. Remove mixture from heat. Add 5 1/2 cups cheese sauce and cooked pasta to sausage, stirring to coat. Spoon pasta mixture in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Top with remaining sauce. Bake at 400° for 15 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
