Creamy Sausage Pasta

This is quite cheap to make and easy to modify. Sliced sausage links can be used in place of the ground sausage for a different texture.

Cook the pasta according to package directions , until al dente.

When the pasta is finished , drain and toss with a small amount of olive oil to keep from sticking , if desired.

Set aside.

Meanwhile , in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat , begin browning the sausage , breaking it up into small chunks.

When the sausage is no longer pink , reduce the heat to medium and add the spaghetti sauce and cream of mushroom soup.

Stir to mix well and cook for a few more minutes until the sauce is hot.

In a large bowl or pot , combine the cooked pasta and sauce.

Stir to coat evenly and serve with crushed red pepper and parmesan cheese , if desired.

Enjoy ! try it with hot sausage , or adding mushrooms , roasted red peppers , or sun-dried tomatoes for variety.
