Tomato-Sausage-Pasta-Al-Forno

Today I have a super easy recipe for you guys that is something most of you can put together with what you have on hand – Tomato & Sausage Pasta Al Forno.

Seriously this recipe is so easy and the taste can’t be beat. You can make it with whatever protein you have on hand. No sausage – no problem…just use chopped chicken. You could also use ground beef, turkey or ground sausage. You could also just opt to do this without the meat. Heck if you are feeling adventurous you could also add in some spinach, mushrooms or other veggies in the sauce. I guess what I am saying…make this recipe work for you.

You guys probably have most everything you need in your pantry but with the super deal on pasta this week you can stock up!
