Israeli Couscous and Cheese

Since Israeli couscous is nothing more than tiny balls of lightly toasted pasta dough, it works well in this macaroni-n-cheese style dish.

Ingreadient

  • 2 teaspoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup pearl (israeli) couscous
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup diced pimentos
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper, or more to taste
  • 3 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
