My Fast & Easy Turkey Sausage Penne is one of my go-to favorite recipes for crazy busy weeknights.
It’s SO simple to put together, and you can adjust the heat depending on what kind of sausage you use and how much crushed red pepper you throw in. I like mine a little spicy. :-). You can use regular pork sausage if you like.
If you’re looking for a crowd-pleasing “30 minutes or less” recipe to add to your weeknight arsenal, this easy pasta dish fits the bill perfectly.
I’m linking this recipe up at some terrific blog parties – you can find my complete list of places I party HERE.
