INGREDIENTS

1/2 pound dry penne pasta
1 pound mild Italian sausage
12 ounce bag Green Giant® Simply Steam Broccoli, Carrots, Cauliflower & Cheese Sauce
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup milk

DIRECTIONS

Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
Heat a large dutch oven or pot over medium heat. Add sausage, cook and stir until browned. Add cooked pasta, reduce heat to low and stir to combine.
Cook Green Giant® Simply Steam Broccoli, Carrots, Cauliflower & Cheese Sauce according to package directions. Carefully open and add to pasta. Stir to combine then add seasonings and milk. Stir and cook for 5 minutes until hot. Remove from heat and serve.


Tips: 

To ensure your pasta doesn’t get too soft, cook it just one minute less so it is al dente when heated with your sauce. If you have leftovers, add a few splashes of milk when re-heating to thin the sauce.
