CHEESY PENNE PASTA AND SMOKED SAUSAGE CASSEROLE
Smoked sausage is my new go to meat for a tight budget, so I have been searching for something to use it in besides Jambalaya. I found this recipe in a Taste of Home magazine and loved it! I just had to share it! For a healthier casserole, I use whole wheat pasta, turkey smoked sausage, 98% fat free soup and low fat cheese.

- Don't overcook the pasta: Cook the pasta according to the package directions, but be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked pasta will become mushy and won't hold the sauce as well.

- Make it ahead of time: This casserole can be made ahead of time and reheated when you're ready to serve it. This makes it a great option for busy weeknight meals.
