PENNE WITH SAUSAGE, TOMATO, RED PEPPER IN CREAM SAUCE
This is something I came up with when I didn't allow myself enough time to prepare dinner. The meat and veggies were supposed to be a filling for a stromboli, then I ended up using it for this pasta dish instead. It turned out to be a delicious dinner treat! You can change to ground beef, other peppers, pasta or a different cheese.

PENNE WITH SAUSAGE IN CREAMY TOMATO SAUCE
This is an easy recipe with tons of flavor, rigatoni pasta can be used in place of penne. If you are using spicy sausages then omit the chili flakes. Try to use only high-quality canned tomato products, it will really make a huge difference in your sauce, no no-name brands for this! With this sauce (and any tomato-based sauce) it needs some time to cook, the longer you cook the sauce uncovered the thicker and richer it will be, you can even start it in the morning turn it off then continue cooking later, cook for even 2 hours!
