I love creating dishes using the ingredients I already have on hand, and most all the time I have whole grain pasta, pesto and frozen Italian sausages in the kitchen. So that's what I used for this easy dish. Use what you have and be creative with your next pasta dish!
Ingredients:
1/2 pound whole grain penne pasta, cooked according to package directions
3/4 cup cheese pasta sauce, warmed either in the microwave or in a saucepan over low heat (I use a Bertolli four-cheese pasta sauce)
2 tablespoons store-bought basil pesto
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes (in oil), sliced
2 hot Italian sausage links, cooked according to package directions and sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
1. Prepare sausages first, since they take the longest to cook. Then bring water to a boil in a large saucepan about 10 minutes before sausage is finished and cook pasta. Lastly prepare cheese sauce just before pasta is finished cooking.
2. After preparing ingredients as directed above, toss everything in a serving bowl. Serve with crusty bread on the side. Enjoy!
