Looking for a simple pasta dish that your entire family will love! This Italian Sausage and Peppers with Penne is simple to make and taste amazing.
When it comes to carbs pasta has to be my all time favorite! I love it in just about any way and this is one of my favorites. Pasta is also great when you are on a budget.
We serve is at least once a week and my oldest loves it. He could eat a form of pasta just about every night. This penne is filled with marinara sauce, bell peppers, onions, and Italian sausage.
I topped mine with parmesan cheese then served it with a salad.
Any pasta dish is a win in my household. I know it's a meal my entire family will love, even the kids! Since it's a favorite I wanted to make this recipe really simple, something for busy nights and busy moms. Instead of making my own Mariana sauce and seasoning everything myself I just grab a jar of my favorite store-bought Mariana. If you want to make your own then try adding a can of crushed tomatoes, garlic, and Italian seasoning instead.
