This was recipe that started the idea for the whole month. Of course, upon reading it I knew there would be easy modifications made but it made for a great starting platform.
Modifications Made:
Two links sweet Italian sausage, two links regular Italian sausage removed from their casings, cooked until very crispy, and set aside to drain. To sausage grease, one finely diced yellow onion cooked until translucent and tender. One tablespoon of minced garlic added and briefly allowed to brown. One can of petite diced tomatoes were added along with one tablespoon of Italian seasoning and contents were blitzed with the hand blended to make a chucky sauce. Sausage returned and ingredients were simmered on low while pasta cooked.

With pasta cooked, green beans were added to sauce along with drained pasta. When served, feta crumbles were added instead of parmesan.
Scaled for Likability: Good
The picture on the can does not match the recipe. Do not let this deter you cooking this as it is classic lunchroom food. Would have been great with additional veggies such as mushrooms, peppers, asparagus, or broccoli and a 4oz can of tomato sauce. Basically sausage spaghetti. Yummy all the same.
