Creamy Penne with Sausage
I got the idea for this recipe from a recipe I found on the internet. I changed it up by adding the roasted red peppers and lightened it by using milk instead of cream.
Ingredients
8 ounces penne, uncooked
1 pound ground Italian sausage
10 ounces roasted red peppers, cut into bite size pieces
6 ounces baby spinach
1 cup whole milk
6 ounces shredded parmesan cheese
Directions
Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
In a 5 quart saucepan, over medium heat, add Italian sausage. Cook for 10 - 15 minutes, stirring frequently, breaking meat up with a spoon, until meat is browned and peppers are soft.
Add peppers and spinach to pan. Mix well. Reduce heat to medium low and cook for 10 minutes.
Add milk and cheese to pan. Mix well. Cook for 10 minutes.
Add pasta to pan. Mix until pasta is completely coated with sauce. Cook for 10 minutes
