▢ 1 lbs Penne Pasta Noodles any pasta noodles will work
▢ 1 Tbs Italian Seasoning use to taste
▢ 1 cup heavy cream I added heavy cream to my pasta sauce to help thicken and give it a richer taste

preheat oven to 375 degrees F
place one pound of cooked penne pasta noodles in the baking dish.
cook the pasta per instructions on the box until al dente. you do not want your paste to be over cooked
add and mix about half of the pasta sauce in with the noodles and spread out evenly in the dish.
Char the sausages in the 12 inch Cast Iron Skillet. The sausage will not be all the way cooked; they will finish cooking in the oven.
split the sausages down the middle

cover the top with the remaining Pasta Sauce
sprinkle with Italian Seasoning
if you want more cheese sprinkle cheese over the top before sprinkling the seasoning.
