Penne with Hot Italian Sausage

Yummers! Jim quoted this dish to be, “one of the best ones you have made”. The funny thing is, it was so simple. I guess men just like simple flavors in simple meals. Here ya go, a simple easy recipe for any night!

Ingredients:

• 1 package JENNIE-O TURKEY STORE® Hot Lean Italian Turkey Sausage
• 1 (16-ounce) package penne pasta, cooked and drained
• 1/3 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes, packed in oil
• 1 cup refrigerated light Alfredo pasta sauce, heated
• 1/2 cup pitted ripe olives
• 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley

**Note, I halved the entire recipe to feed two. I cooked all the sausage and then put the rest in the freezer to add to another pasta dish for another night. 🙂

Directions:

1. Cook sausage according to package directions.
2. Cut sausages into 1/2-inch slices.
3. Drain sun-dried tomatoes, rinse.
4. Add cooked sausage, sauce, olives and sun-dried tomatoes to cooked pasta; toss to coat.
5. Sprinkle with Parmesan and parsley.
