This seems so much like the pasta recipe my mom made but it is a bit different because this recipe calls for sauce you get in a jar. HOW EASY IS THAT?!!

So on a night when you are running the kids to soccer practice, band practice, or whatever kind of after school program they are in, don’t fret. Dinner is just a few minutes away!

ONE POT SAUSAGE PENNE PASTA

Serves: 4 – 6 servings

• 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• fresh basil for garnish, optional

DIRECTIONS

1. Add sausage to a large pan over medium- high heat.
2. Cook, stirring often until browned and crumbly.
3. Add chicken broth, Tomato Basil Sauce and milk.
4. Stir to combine. Add Barilla Penne and stir.
5. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring often for 6-8 minutes until pasta is al dente.
