SAUSAGE AND PEPPER PENNE

PENNE WITH SAUSAGE AND PEAS
This is a quick and delicious meal. I skipped the oil and found I didn't need to drain the sausage because it was a good sausage and didn't have a lot of grease. I also used homemade chicken broth from my freezer and skipped the salt (the chicken broth and sausage had plenty of flavor). I also added 3 to 4 cups of peas instead of a cup. Recipe courtesy of Family Circle, July 2010. Yum!
