How to make Premio Comfort Mac and Sausage Bake:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees (F). Prepare a 9 x 13 baking dish with non-stick spray. Set aside.
2. Precook elbow macaroni for about 6 minutes in boiling water. Drain and cool (should be firm and will continue cooking in oven).
3. Grill Premio Sausage. Remove and slice into 1-inch pieces. Add to elbow macaroni.
4. In a large bowl, mix milk, eggs and cheese together with herbs (keep 1/4 cup Percorino Romano for the top of the mac bake). Add stewed tomatoes and spinach to the elbows; stir well.
5. Pour elbow mixture into prepared ban. Pour milk and cheese mixture over top the elbows. Top with panko and 1/4 cup reserved Pecorino Romano cheese.
6. Place into preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes. Once done, remove from oven and allow to cool; serve warm.
