Whole Grain Penne Pasta w/ Sockarooni Sauce and Turkey Sausage

Dinner Tonight:  Whole Grain Penne Pasta and Turkey Sausage w/ Mushrooms, Sockarooni Sauce, and Whole Grain Bread

Whole Grain Penne Pasta and Turkey Sausage tonight, healthy and a true comfort food! I used Ronzoni Healthy Harvest Whole Grain Penne Rigate Pasta. For the sauce I used Newman's own Sockarooni Pasta Sauce and then for the Turkey Sausage I used   Johnsonville Turkey Sausage. The sausage is 110 calories and 0 carbs.

I had precooked and sliced the Turkey Sausage earlier. I then boiled the pasta and while it was boiling I heated the pasta sauce and added the Turkey Sausage, that I had sliced up into bite size pieces and sliced Baby Bella Mushrooms. After boiling and draining the pasta I added the pasta back to pot and added the sauce and sausage to it and mixed until the pasta was well coated. I Seasoned the Pasta with McCormick Grinder Italian Seasoning, Parsley and Sea Salt. The Sockarooni is a Pasta Sauce made by Newman’s Own. It’s a fantastic thick sauce with great seasoning with Red and Green Bell Peppers and Mushrooms. I topped it with Kraft 2% Shredded Mozzarella Cheese. Served it with slices of Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread. For dessert later some Apple slices and a Mini Banana.
