Ingredients

• 1 lb penne pasta
• 12 oz fresh sweet/hot Italian sausages, removed from casing

Directions

1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta; cook as package directs.

2. Meanwhile, cook sausage in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat 5 minutes, or until browned, breaking up chunks with a wooden spoon. Remove to a plate.
