I made a delicious and easy dinner using Johnsonville® as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars.
Have I ever mentioned how much I love pasta? I probably have, but I will again, because YUM! I could eat pasta dishes almost every night because they’re just so yummy and it’s a whole meal packed into one dish. I’ve shared several of my favorite pasta dishes on the blog and I’m back with another one. Generally when I make a red sauce I use ground beef, but I have been on an Italian Sausage kick lately and I don’t think I’ll ever go back because of how much flavor it adds to a dish.
Johnsonville® Italian Sausage is the only Italian Sausage I ever use and I’m not just saying that because they sent me some. It really is my favorite and takes my dishes to a whole new flavor level. One of the reasons I like them so much, aside from the natural ingredients and freshness of the meat, is that the Italian Sausage is already seasoned and packed with so much flavor. When I cook with it I don’t have to add any additional seasonings to my dishes and I love that.
Our family has several favorite dishes and this is one I particularly like because it’s a one dish meal and it cooks up under 30 minutes. That means not a lot of dishes to wash and an easy, fresh, and delicious meal the whole family can enjoy!
