Ingredients

  • 1 pound Cellentani pasta

  • 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 2 Tablespoons flour

  • 1¼ cups milk

Cook pasta as directed. While pasta is cooking, slice Smart Chicken Frankfurters into coins. In a skillet, warm coined Frankfurters over medium heat. To make the sauce, start by making a roux with butter and flour. Warm butter over medium heat and add flour. Stir constantly for 2-3 minutes and do not let flour brown. Add milk and bring to a boil. Lower heat to a simmer and add shredded cheddar, salt and pepper. Adjust seasonings as necessary and combine sauce with cooked pasta. Sprinkle sautéed Frankfurters over the top and serve.
