penne with vodka sauce & turkey sausage
(1 rating)
Gotta love the melty, cheesy, meaty goodness of a pasta bake! I have recently started using vodka sauce and enjoy it's great flavor. Turkey breakfast sausage is a nice way to lighten it up a little. It's a good way to use up zucchini and sneak it in on the kids :)
