Penne pasta is a tube-shaped pasta that is perfect for hearty sauces and dishes. The ridges on the penne hold the sauce well, making each bite burst with flavor. Make sure to cook the pasta al dente, which means it should have a slight bite to it, so it doesn't get mushy when mixed with the sauce.

You can use either hot or mild Italian sausage, depending on your preference. If you want a spicier dish, go for the hot version, or stick with mild for a milder flavor.
3. Fresh Herbs
Adding fresh herbs to any dish can elevate the flavors to a whole new level. For this recipe, we will be using fresh basil and fresh parsley. The fresh basil adds a sweet and slightly peppery taste, while the fresh parsley adds a fresh and earthy flavor. Don't skimp on the herbs, as they add a burst of freshness to the dish.
4. Tomatoes
Tomatoes are a staple in Italian cuisine, and they add a tangy and sweet taste to the dish. In this recipe, we will be using diced tomatoes, which are perfect for sauces. You can use canned diced tomatoes or fresh ones, depending on your preference and the availability.
5. Garlic and Onions
Garlic and onions are the base of most Italian dishes and add a depth of flavor to the sauce. Make sure to finely chop the garlic and onions to release their flavors and mix well with the sauce.
Instructions:
Now that we have all the ingredients, let's get into the cooking process. First, cook the penne pasta according to the package instructions and set it aside. In a large skillet, cook the Italian sausage until browned and set it aside. In the same skillet, sauté the garlic and onions until fragrant.
