We all have them, and this is one of my favorites. It's quicker and easier than spaghetti and meatballs and has more of a kick to it too.
Penne with Spicy Sausage aka "Mostaccioli"
(Odd, considering I use and prefer penne. It's just what I've always called it.)
First up, I cut two and a half to three bratwurst (I like the "Hot" variety. Use what you'd like) out of their casings, and cut them into bite size pieces. They get tossed in a pot and browned up.
Once it's brown, add in your sauce and let simmer for however long you feel is right.
We were hungry, so once I got the sauce simmering it was straight to the other parts of the meal. I started cooking my penne and my garlic bread.
For the garlic bread I spread butter over both sides of Texas Toast cut white bread. I seasoned each side with garlic powder, parsley, and parmesan cheese. I turned the Griddler on medium high (with the grill plates on) and let it grill away! It came out tasting really good!
Finally, decide if you are an "all mixed up" or "over the top" type of person. We are all mixed up people here.
(I was of course referring to how you prefer to serve your pasta and sauce together.)
Throw a salad together (or not), and there's dinner! It doesn't get easier than this, folks.
