Easy Weeknight Pasta Recipe

You can’t beat this easy weeknight pasta recipe. All you need is four ingredients to make a delicious meal the family will love!

Easy Weeknight Pasta Dinner

Sometimes you want a great dinner but don’t have the time or energy to make something elaborate. For those nights, I bring you this very easy weeknight pasta recipe. Four ingredients make for a savory, delicious meal. The secret is using sausage instead of plain ground beef or turkey and vodka tomato sauce. Since those shortcut ingredients are both full of flavor, they make this dish taste more special than plain old spaghetti with meat sauce (even though it’s just as easy to make).
