Plan this

Classic Norwegian weeknight staple — creamy white sauce, chunky sausage, and melted cheese on top. Ready in under an hour and the kids always go back for seconds.

Instructions

1
Cook the pasta according to the package instructions, then drain.
2
Melt the butter in a saucepan and stir in the flour. Keep stirring until the mixture pulls away from the sides of the pan.
3
Pour in half the milk and stir well, then add the rest and keep stirring until you have a smooth sauce.
4
Let the sauce simmer gently for about 5 minutes, stirring now and then — just make sure it doesn't catch on the bottom. Season with salt and pepper.
5
Peel the skin off the sausages and slice them into rounds. Finely slice the spring onions.
6
Grease an ovenproof dish with a little oil or margarine, then add the sausages, pasta, spring onions, and peas. Pour the white sauce over everything and scatter the grated cheese on top.
7
Bake in the middle of the oven at 200 °C for about 15 minutes, until the cheese is golden and the sauce is bubbling.
