Penne With Sausage and Peas
"This is a quick and delicious meal. I skipped the oil and found I didn't need to drain the sausage because it was a good sausage and didn't have a lot of grease. I also used homemade chicken broth from my freezer and skipped the salt (the chicken broth and sausage had plenty of flavor). I also added 3 to 4 cups of peas instead of a cup. Recipe courtesy of Family Circle, July 2010. Yum!"

I love to try new recipes, and this is a wonderful site to find new additions. I rarely make the same thing twice because it's so much fun to try something different. My life long dream is to travel the world and eat my way around it.
