CREAMY SAUSAGE PENNE
This luscious pasta dish is one I've avoided making recently; it's not exactly a lowfat dinner and I feel guilty serving it to my husband -- neither of us should be eating such a high calorie meal. But it's so, so good! Even though I can't claim it's part of a healthy diet, I hope you try it at least once -- it's a fast, easy dish, after all! I serve this with a simple green salad.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Look for fresh, seasonal produce and high-quality meats and cheeses.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the sausage and vegetables, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to stick to the pan.
- Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente pasta is cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. This is the best way to enjoy pasta, as it will hold its shape and texture in the sauce.
- Garnish before serving: Before serving, garnish your pasta dish with fresh herbs, grated cheese, or a drizzle of olive oil. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.
