Ingredients
  • 1 16 oz roll of Italian sausage
  • 1 24 oz jar of your favorite pasta sauce or marinara
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 16 oz box penne pasta
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ tsp. garlic powder
  • ½ tsp. red pepper flakes
  • More Parmesan and parsley, for garnish
Instructions
  1. In a large, deep skillet, brown the sausage until cooked through completely.
  2. Add the pasta sauce to the pan, along with the 3 cups of water.
  3. Stir to combine with the sausage.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. Pour the penne into the pan.
  6. Keep the mixture at a gentle bubble, stirring regularly to keep the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the skillet.
  7. Cook until the penne is cooked through and the water has reduced out of the pan, about 12-15 minutes.
  8. Add in the Parmesan, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes, stirring until well-incorporated.
  9. Scoop the pasta into bowls, and sprinkle with more cheese and parsley as desired.
