SWEET ITALIAN SAUSAGE WITH PENNE PASTA



Sweet Italian Sausage With Penne Pasta image

We are Italian and if you go through my recipes you'll find alot of wonderful, quick and easy pasta dishes. We love our pasta and we love garlic, too! Serve this with garlic Texas toast. I can't eat pasta much anymore because I'm diabetic but my husband and daughter love it so I keep making it for them. I usually eat salmon (I have one or two good ones for salmon, too- check them out).

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb penne pasta
1 lb broccoli floret (I use frozen)
8 ounces Italian sausage, cut in bite-size chunks (sweet & mild)
2 tablespoons garlic, minced (you can use less if you want)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup grated pecorino romano cheese

Steps:

  • Boil the water and cook the penne according to package directions. DO NOT ever add oil to the water! It will make your sauce slide off the pasta later.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil (medium-high heat) in a large skillet and saute the broccoli, sausage and garlic until tender and starting to brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Toss the butter, hot pasta, sausage mixture and romano cheese together and serve. Pass the grated cheese at the table.

SWEET SAUSAGE MEDITERRANEAN PENNE PASTA



Sweet Sausage Mediterranean Penne Pasta image

This recipie was inspired by #269690 with alterations to our family's taste. My husband and I made this for some friends while on vacation and it was a huge hit, even with all the children ranging from 8 to 18. I hope everyone enjoys it as much as we do. This is a very popular request for meals at our house.

It's hard to beat the classic Italian flavors of this hearty, comforting dish. It has a slight kick, so omit the pepper flakes if you don't want the heat. -Tammy Rowe, Bellevue, Ohio
