Whole Grain Penne Rigate and Smoked Turkey Sausage w/ Baked Mozza Parm Bread

Dinner Tonight:  Whole Grain Penne Rigate and Smoked Turkey Sausage w/ Baked Mozza Parm Bread

I had made a small bowl of Italian Pasta Salad for lunch earlier today and the Pasta tasted so good I made another Pasta dish for dinner, Whole Grain Penne Rigate and Smoked Turkey Sausage w/ Baked Mozza Parm Bread.



To prepare it I used Ronzoni Healthy Harvest Whole Grain Penne Rigate, Eckrich Turkey Smoked Sausage, Bella Vita Low Carb Pasta Sauce (Meat Flavored), fresh Grated Mozzarella Cheese, Sea Salt, and McCormick Grinder Italian Seasoning. Turn the heat to low, and pour 1/2 cup water into the skillet with the Eckrich sausage. To prepare the Sausage just add 2/3 cup of water to a skillet and heat to a boil. Add the Sausage and cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to a simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes until it's heated through out. While that was cooking I took my Sauce and put that into a medium sauce pan, put the lid on,  and heated on low. After the Sausage was done I sliced it into bite size pieces and added to the Pasta Sauce. I then boiled my Pasta by the box instructions. Boiled for 10 minutes and drained the water and added my Sausage and Pasta Sauce to the Pasta. Seasoned everything with Sea Salt and McCormick Grinder Italian Seasoning, mixed well and served topping it with freshly  shredded  Mozzarella Cheese. Makes a delicious  and filling dinner! I love that Smoked Turkey Sausage! To prepare the Mozza Parm Bread just take 2 slices of bread, I used Aunt Millie's Light Whole Grain Bread, butter both slices, add a light coating of Kraft Shredded Parmesan Cheese and sprinkle with freshly shredded Mozzarella Cheese. Bake at 400 degrees until Cheese has melted and served. For Dessert/Snack later a 100 Calorie Mini Bag of Jolly Time Pop Corn.
