Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 (16 oz) package spicy breakfast sausage
  • 1 (16 oz) box medium pasta shells uncooked
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 cups skim milk
  • 2 oz shredded Crystal Farms Finely Shredded Asiago & Parmesan Cheese about 1/2 cup
  • 2 oz Crystal Farms Monterey Jack Cheese shredded about 1/2 cup
  • 4 oz Crystal Farms Wisconsin Sharp Cheddar Cheese shredded about 1 cup
  • 1 (28 oz) bag Potatoes O’Brien thawed
  • 1 teaspoon salt more or less to taste (I used about 2 teaspoons)
  • cooked eggs optional for serving
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F, place the cooking rack on the top rung, and line a baking sheet with a silicone mat.
  • Heat a large stockpot over medium/medium-high heat.
  • Once hot, add in sausage and cook until the meat is no longer pink, breaking it up with a spatula while it cooks.
  • To the pot add shells, broth, and milk.
  • Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
  • Once simmering, simmer for about 7-10 minutes or until shells are al dente. Stir constantly. You may need to adjust your heat to keep it at a low simmer.
  • Meanwhile, place potatoes o'brien onto prepared baking sheet and cook for 10 minutes.
  • When the 10 minutes is up, broil for an additional 3 minutes, watching to make sure the potatoes don't burn.
  • Once the pasta is perfectly al dente, remove from heat and stir in cheeses.
  • Once the cheeses have melted, stir in the cooked potatoes, and salt.
  • Taste, re-season, if necessary, and serve with optional eggs!
