Unexpected Cheddar Mac and Cheese

Instructions

1. 1

   Slice sausage into half coins or quarter coins.

2. 2

   Heat olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage and brown until cooked through, about 4–5 minutes.

3. 3

   Make room in the pan and add elbow macaroni. Pour in 4 cup chicken broth and stir to make sure everything is covered. Bring to a boil, then cover with a lid, reduce heat, and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring once or twice throughout to prevent sticking, until most of the liquid has been absorbed.

4. 4

   Remove lid. Stir in cheese spread until melted and combined. Add spinach and add back the lid for 1–2 minutes to wilt the spinach. Remove lid and stir everything together.
