KIELBASA AND KALE MAC AND CHEESE

Kielbasa and cheese is an incredibly comforting combination. And the torn kale in this recipe holds onto the cheese sauce so well it becomes almost tastier than the macaroni itself. We used sharp Cheddar for this recipe, but 1 pound of your favorite melting cheese will work as well. Just don't use a cheese aged longer than 12 months or your sauce might get grainy or separate.

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Salt the water and add the macaroni. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 9 minutes. Drain.
  • Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large heavy pot over medium-high heat until very hot, about 1 minute. Add the kale and 1/4 cup water, cover and let cook until wilted and just tender, about 2 minutes. Uncover, toss the kale, and continue cooking until all of the water has evaporated, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the kale to a medium bowl and set aside.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in same pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until the onion is tender and begins to brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the kielbasa and cook, tossing occasionally, until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the flour, stir to coat and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the milk and kale and bring to a boil; add the cheese a few handfuls at a time and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, until the cheese has completely melted, about 2 minutes.
  • Stir the macaroni into the cheese mixture until evenly coated; remove from the heat. The sauce will look very loose but will thicken off the heat.

1 pound elbow macaroni
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound Tuscan or curly kale or Swiss chard, stems removed, leaves torn
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, finely grated
12 ounces kielbasa, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 pound sharp Cheddar cheese (not aged more than 12 months), shredded
Kosher salt
Pinch cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs for al dente. Reserve 1 3/4 cups of the cooking water and then drain. Set aside.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the kale and garlic and cook, stirring, until the kale begins to wilt. Add 1/2 cup of water, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the kale wilts and is crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  • Carefully wipe out the saucepan. Bring the half-and-half, cayenne and nutmeg to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until reduced to 1 1/2 cups, about 15 minutes. Add the cream cheese and stir until melted. Gradually whisk in the Cheddar and Havarti cheeses, a handful at a time, until all the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
  • Add the cooked pasta and reserved cooking water to the sauce and stir to combine. Stir in the kale and season with additional salt and pepper. Pour into a 13-by-9-inch baking dish. Toss the bread crumbs, remaining 1/4 cup olive oil and a large pinch of salt and pepper in a medium bowl and sprinkle evenly over the macaroni and cheese. Bake until bubbly and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound elbow macaroni
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large bunch of kale, stems discarded, leaves roughly chopped (about 8 cups)
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Two 8-ounce packages cream cheese, at room temperature
One 8-ounce block sharp Cheddar, grated
1 cup grated Havarti cheese
1 cup panko bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the macaroni and cook until it is al dente, about 6 minutes. Strain, reserving 1 3/4 cups of the pasta water. Set aside.
  • Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add 3 tablespoons of the olive oil and the shiitake mushrooms and cook, stirring constantly, until the mushrooms are lightly browned in spots and softened, 4 to 6 minutes. Lower the heat to medium and add the kale, garlic and 1/2 cup of water, scraping up any browned bits at the bottom of the pan with the back of a wooden spoon. Add 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and stir to combine. Cook until the kale is wilted but still crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Remove the vegetables to a bowl and set aside.
  • Carefully wipe out the saucepan (or give it a quick rinse if it is really dirty). Add the half-and-half and cayenne and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until reduced to 1 1/2 cups, about 15 minutes. Add the cream cheese and stir until melted. Whisk in the Cheddar and Gruyere until all the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
  • Add the macaroni and reserved pasta water to the saucepan and stir to combine. (The mixture will look very loose, but the pasta will suck up a lot of the sauce as it bakes.) Gently fold in the reserved vegetables. Season to taste with additional salt if needed. Pour into a 13-by-9-inch baking dish. Toss the bread crumbs, remaining 1/4 cup olive oil and a large pinch of salt and pepper in a medium bowl and sprinkle evenly over the macaroni and cheese. Bake until the cheese is bubbly and the bread crumbs are lightly browned and crispy, about 10 minutes.

Kosher salt
1 pound elbow macaroni
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
12 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stems discarded, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 large bunch of kale, stems discarded, roughly chopped (about 8 cups)
4 cloves garlic, minced
Freshly ground black pepper
2 1/2 cups half-and-half
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 pound cream cheese, room temperature
8 ounces sharp Cheddar, shredded (about 3 cups)
3 ounces Gruyere, shredded (about 1 cup)
1 cup panko bread crumbs

CHEESY STOVETOP MAC WITH SAUSAGE AND KALE

Quick, easy and delicious, this one-pan meal is perfect for weeknights when cleaning up is the last thing you want to do. It's reminiscent of hamburger skillet macs, which gained popularity in the 1970s, thanks to Hamburger Helper, when beef prices were high and families wanted to stretch a pound of meat. This kale-packed version spices up that classic with herby sweet Italian sausage, fresh garlic, red-pepper flakes and hot sauce. Like the original, the starch from the pasta helps thicken the cooking liquid into a quick sauce that becomes creamy once the cheese is added. Serve with a crisp green salad and toasted bread.

Cheesy Stovetop Mac With Sausage and Kale image

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large, wide pot or a very large, deep skillet over medium-high, then add the onion, kale and ½ teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the kale has cooked down and the onion is smaller in size, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and tomato paste and cook, stirring often, until the paste darkens slightly, 1 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the sausage and cook, breaking the meat into small pieces, until it loses its pink color, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Add the red-pepper flakes, sprinkle with salt and give everything a good stir. Add the chicken broth and pasta and stir to combine. Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, place a lid on the pan and cook until the pasta is soft but still has some bite to it, about 10 minutes. Be sure to check on the pasta and stir every now and again. (The sauce will have thickened from the starch in the pasta.)
  • Add the cheese and hot sauce and mix well. Add salt and additional hot sauce to taste before serving.

3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 white onion, diced
1 large bunch kale, leaves only, coarsely chopped
Kosher salt
3 large garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 pound loose sweet Italian sausage (see Tip)
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
6 cups low-sodium chicken broth or water
1 pound short pasta (such as macaroni, cavatappi or fusilli)
2 cups/8 ounces shredded sharp Cheddar
1 1/2 teaspoons hot sauce, plus more to taste
