This recipe is like what they serve at Bucca di Beppo. We no longer have a Bucca where I live but my family and mainly me loves this recipe. I have altered it to suit what my family likes and to make it easier for those throw together quick dinners on work/school nights. It’s super simple at least the way I do it and it turns out delicious. If you want to throw dinner together truly easy try this Penne Arrabbiata Recipe

Equipment
- Meat Cooker Utensil This makes browning meat so much easier but it’s optional

Instructions
- Brown the sausage in a large sauce pan and then drain
- while you are browning the sausage cook the pasta according to the box directions.

- When pasta is cooked drain do not rinse and add to the sauce pan toss to mix completely add the Romano cheese setting aside a small amount to finish the dish
