There are so many good recipes out there, so many things to try, that I rarely make the same dish twice, even when I love it. But I'm making this pasta again tomorrow! It.was.so.good, I just don't know how else to put it. Fresh tomatoes, fresh basil, penne pasta and lots of cheese, I don't think life gets any better.
The only change I made to this recipe was using turkey sausage instead of regular, which only lightened it up and did not compromise the taste at all.
