Super Easy...and Yummy Recipe

Okay so I made this one day when I was at a loss for what to make for dinner. I had the ingredients on hand and voila....yummy super easy supper. It's essentially a fancy version of mac & cheese with hot dogs...with broccoli added. Gotta make sure the kids get their veggies!

1 14-16 oz. box of penne pasta
1 bag of Steamfresh broccoli florets (or fresh broccoli, cooked)
8-12 oz. shredded colby jack cheese (depends on how cheesy you want it..I like lots of cheese)
1/2 stick of real butter
milk - I don't measure...just pour a little at a time until good consistency
1 beef or turkey kielbasa smoked sausage

Cook pasta to al dente. Cook broccoli according to directions. Slice smoked sausage into 1/2 inch slices and saute in a little water until thoroughly heated. Drain pasta. Stir butter into pasta. Add sausage. Stir in cheese...adding milk until cheese is melted and creamy. Stir in broccoli and serve. My hubby absolutely loves this dish...and he's kind of hard to please. Anyway, just thought I'd share. I know I always love a good, easy recipe.
