Quick Pasta

Today's recipe is a quick pasta, because some nights you don't have much time to cook. By using a prepared pasta sauce (I do prefer homemade, but rarely feel like preparing any sauce before hand) it cuts down on tons of time. Think of this as a blank canvas that you can change up to suit your tastes!

Ingredients:
2-3 sausage links (we use the chicken sausage, but you can use whatever you like)
1/2 box wheat pasta
1/2 Jar of prepared pasta sauce (we prefer the private selection line from Kroger)
Cheese of choice (we left the parmesan at work, so we improvised and use sharp white cheddar this evening)

Directions:
1. Cook sausage according to directions and set aside.
2. Cook pasta according to box directions.
3. Slice sausage.
4. Combine all ingredients with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Top with your favorite cheese.

Tips:
1. Use a half cup of the pasta water to mix with the sauce. This helps the pasta sauce stick to the noodles.
2. Salt the water liberally before it begins to boil.
3. Cook the pasta, sauce, water, and sausage in the pan together for 2-3 minutes at a low simmer to help all ingredients combine better.
