This penne pasta recipe is full of tasty ingredients that you and whomever you're serving this dish to will find simply irresistible: spicy sausage, whole wheat pasta, sautéed vegetables, and Parmesan cheese. You can use the sausage mixture as a sandwich, omelet, or baked potato filling as well. During busy weeknights, streamline the preparation by using frozen bell pepper strips or frozen diced bell pepper strips and onions. Just be sure to buy a high-quality Parmesan cheese for maximum flavor (that goes for basically any recipe that calls for Parmesan). Just a small amount can completely transform your favorite Italian recipes.
