Ingredients
-
1 (16 ounce) package penne pasta
-
½ pound ground sausage
-
1 (1.2 ounce) package creamy pesto sauce mix (such as Knorr®)
-
1 cup milk
-
¼ cup olive oil
Directions
-
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook penne at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes; drain and transfer pasta to a bowl.
-
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; add to pasta.
-
Whisk pesto sauce mix, milk, and olive oil together in a small saucepan; bring to a boil while stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and keep at a simmer until thickened, about 3 minutes; pour over pasta and sausage mixture and toss to coat.
