Time 25m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (16 ounce) package penne pasta
½ pound ground sausage
1 (1.2 ounce) package creamy pesto sauce mix (such as Knorr®)
1 cup milk
¼ cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook penne at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes; drain and transfer pasta to a bowl.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; add to pasta.
  • Whisk pesto sauce mix, milk, and olive oil together in a small saucepan; bring to a boil while stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and keep at a simmer until thickened, about 3 minutes; pour over pasta and sausage mixture and toss to coat.

This recipe was a bit bland. I added some extra salt and pepper and it was much better.

This recipe was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would prefer a lighter pesto next time.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and red pepper flakes to give it some more flavor.

I'm not a huge fan of pesto, but this recipe was really good! The creamy pesto was not too heavy and the sausage added a nice flavor. I would definitely make this again.
