I had an extra packet of mac ‘n’ cheese sauce mix lying around. Amazingly, this was made from stuff we had in the fridge.

• 1 lb of spaghetti
• 1 lb bratwurst, sliced into 1 inch pieces
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 green pepper, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced or 1 tbsp garlic powder
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 can of diced tomatoes
• 1 c chicken broth
• 1 c heavy cream
• 1 packet of macaroni and cheese sauce mix
• Italian seasoning
• salt and black pepper to taste

Boil a pot of salted water and cook the spaghetti to al dente.  Sauté the brats, onion, pepper and garlic in olive oil. Add the tomatoes and chicken broth, and reduce by half. Add the cream and reduce again. Add the rest of the ingredients and serve over the spaghetti.
