Ingredients

8oz (half a box) Penne noodles

1/2lb mild Italian sausage

4 cloves of garlic (or to taste)

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 8oz can of tomato sauce

1 15oz can petite diced tomatoes

2 tsp basil

2 tsp Italian seasoning

2 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp garlic salt

1 cup fiesta blend cheese

Directions

1. Start boiling a pot of water for the noodles. Once it is at a boil, add the noodles and let them boil for the time indicated on the package (mine say 9-11 minutes). Drain noodles and set them aside.

2. Brown Italian sausage on medium high heat and break it apart into small chunks.

3. Add garlic to pan and sear for about a minute.

4. Turn heat down to medium low and add the cans of tomato sauce and petite diced tomatoes.

5. Add brown sugar, basil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder and garlic salt. I don’t measure it out, I usually just do it to taste.

6. Bring to a medium heat. Add noodles to the sauce once it is bubbling.

7. Add cheese and let it melt

8. Ready to serve
