Notes
You can easily halve this recipe for less servings.
We used penne pasta, but you can use any kind of pasta you prefer here! Spaghetti, ziti, rigatoni, mostaccoli - you name it.
Grab a pound of ground pork sausage. Regular, mild, or hot all work. You can easily substitute with ground beef if preferred.
