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!

Tips:
- Choose the right sausage: Italian sausage is a classic choice for this dish, but you can also use other types of sausage, such as chicken sausage, turkey sausage, or even kielbasa.
- Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables add flavor and nutrition to this dish. Use a variety of vegetables, such as tomatoes, onions, peppers, and spinach.
- Don't overcook the pasta: Pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta will be mushy.
- Use a flavorful cheese: Parmesan cheese is a classic choice for this dish, but you can also use other types of cheese, such as mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, or fontina cheese.
- Bake the dish until it's bubbly and golden brown: This will ensure that the cheese is melted and the dish is cooked through.
