Penne and Sausage

Here is something for dinner. This was given to me by my sister-in-law, Sue, and has since become one of my favourite pasta dishes. It's quick and easy and delicious and doesn't make too many dishes. You can alter the sausage type and amount of seasoning to suit your family's taste.
