Ingredients
1 pkg of Hillshire Farm Turkey Smoked Sausage 1 box of Whole Wheat Penne Pasta1 23 oz jar of Tostito's Salsa Con Queso-Medium
Bring about 8 cups of water to a boil (I usually don't measure the water, I just hold the pot under the spout and guesstimate how much will be enough).
Cut sausage in round pieces. If you want, you can cut the round pieces in half. Set aside.
When water is bubbling, pour pasta noodles in. For Al Dente noodles just boil for 10-12 mins. For softer noodles, boil longer. When noodles are about halfway done, put sausage in the water. This helps to cut down the salt in the sausage and pass the sausage flavor to the pasta.
When pasta is done to your liking, drain the water.
Pour pasta and sausage back into pot. Pour in half the jar of the salsa con queso, stir to coat the pasta and sausage. Stir in the rest of the jar.
Makes 7- 1 cup servings.
