You can make this Creamy Tomato and Sausage Penne with ingredients you already have on hand! This is my MOST POPULAR RECIPE for cooking right from your pantry, to include bright tomatoes, tender pasta, a bit-o-heat, and this entirely CREAMY sauce! Quick skillet pasta dishes like this Creamy Tomato and Sausage Penne are great 'get it done quick' meals which are big on flavor and low on cost and time. This dish requires only a few 100% real ingredients, most, if not all of which are likely already in your pantry or refrigerator. The method requires the use of cream cheese and heavy cream to make what starts out as a regular tomato sauce, smooth, rich, and creamy. If you do not have cream cheese on hand, you could go all cream without compromising on the flavor. I add sausage, either Italian pork sausage or a fave chicken sausage, for extra flavor to the finished dish along with shaved blended cheeses; Parmesan, Asiago...whatever I have on hand. If sausage isn't your thing, spinach, sliced grilled chicken, or grilled shrimp may be used. Whatever your vice, Creamy Tomato and Sausage Penne is one to earmark for YOUR next busy weeknight!
