Baked Penne & Smoked Sausage

I had this delicious dish at a pot luck meeting this weekend and had to get the recipe and try it out again with the family.  My daughter LOVED it, my son was "meh" with it (but he's like that with almost everything other than quesadillas) and my husband scarfed it down.  The real test will be with the leftovers, if they go fast, it was a hit.  I thought it was delicious, so I kind of hope that I'm the only one eating the leftovers. :)


Anyways, I apologize for the less-than-professional picture, but I'm just not good at taking pictures of food or "plating" it nicely.  Take it or leave it, but it's delicious no matter what it looks like!
