SAUSAGE & PEPPERS PENNE ALFREDO
Penne pasta served with hot Italian sausage, bell peppers, and onions in a creamy Alfredo sauce. This is a recipe that I created on the fly. Ingredient measurements are "best guess" because I pretty much just threw everything in to taste. Feel free to adjust to your taste and enjoy!

- Add peppers and onions, season with salt and pepper to taste, and fry with sausage for 2 minutes.

- Slowly bring cream to a boil and let simmer for 5 minutes over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally.
