Skillet Pasta with Sausage
This skillet pasta with sausage features penne cooked directly in a flavorful broth with smoked sausage, onions, and mixed vegetables. The pasta absorbs the liquids, resulting in a creamy sauce base enriched with Parmesan cheese. The sausage adds a smoky, savory depth balanced by tender vegetables and a light sprinkling of fresh parsley.
