Tomato Basil Penne

Penne pasta is my new go-to when deciding what type of noodle to use in my recipes. It has the perfect little hiding pocket to soak up extra sauce which makes every bite that much better, am I right?

I’m sure you are going to see penne on here frequently over the next few months (hint hint) but I wanted to start with this insanely simple dish. It’s packed with bold flavor and is on your table in under an hour!

Tomato Basil Pasta

All of the magic starts with a little Italian sausage. Brown that up with some tangy tomatoes, fresh basil, and a LOT of garlic for one amazing base. This is comfort food at it’s finest and a belly pleaser that’s about to take your pasta game to the next level!

Do you have to use penne in this recipe?

No. You can easily substitute any other pasta variety and it will work great! You could also substitute the meat for chicken or pork!
