Try This Luscious Baked Penne With Italian Sausage

Luscious baked penne with Italian sausage is a cheesy, rich and satisfying dish that goes together in well under an hour. It has the "mouth feel" of lasagna but is much simpler to pull together. Spice it up with hot sausage, make it richer with ground veal or beef or try a lighter, lower-calorie version with turkey sausage. Add in fresh or frozen peas or spinach for a pop of color and it becomes a healthy and nutritious one-dish meal. Using just a few standard ingredients, ones that you probably already have on hand, it is quick and easy to make. Pop it in the oven while you throw together a green salad, slice up some hearty bread and set the table. Fast enough for busy week nights yet festive enough for Sunday dinner or a holiday party. Freeze the leftovers in single-serving containers for a quick and hearty lunch. Try it tonight!
