Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook penne at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes, drain and transfer pasta to a bowl.

  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes, add to pasta.

  3. Whisk pesto sauce mix, milk, and olive oil together in a small saucepan, bring to a boil while stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and keep at a simmer until thickened, about 3 minutes, pour over pasta and sausage mixture and toss to coat.
