ONE-SKILLET ITALIAN SAUSAGE PASTA

Ingredients:

¾ pound Italian pork sausage*

1¼ cups water

1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, with basil, garlic and oregano, undrained

1 can (8 ounces) sliced mushrooms

1 cup tomato sauce

½ teaspoon seasoned pepper

8 ounces (4 cups dry) penne pasta

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Method:

Heat large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add sausage, cook 5 minutes, breaking apart with spoon to crumble.

Drain, return to skillet.

Add water, undrained tomatoes, mushrooms, tomato sauce, pepper, and pasta to skillet, stir to combine.

Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat and cook 15 minutes or until pasta is tender.

Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Serve with additional Parmesan, if desired.

*I used a combo of hot Italian pork sausage and Italian turkey sausage.

Enjoy!
