Pasta with sausage
Penne pasta combined with paprika sausage and green peas is a dish that can be made just in a few minutes. If you are looking for a recipe for a quick dinner, this pasta is exactly what you need. The pasta and sauce can be made in less than 30 minutes. Fry the sausage in a pan, add peas and cream cheese. Cook the pasta separately and combine with the cooked ingredients.
I used penne pasta to prepare this dish. In addition, I opted for a gluten-free version of the pasta. In fact, you can choose any pasta you have at home, it does not have to be penne.

Penne cooked for 9-10 minutes will have a so-called al dente consistency, i.e. slightly undercooked. My recommendation is to cook the pasta for 12 to 14 minutes.
I decided to choose paprika sausage. In Hungary, such sausage is plentiful, so I had no problem buying it. You can use any type of sausage in this dish, but it is important that it has paprika in it.
