Adrienne's Sausage Penne with Sundried Tomatoes

Submitted by: Adrienne

Penne pasta
Sausage, diced and cooked
Sundried Tomatoes
3-4 cloves garlic, minced or grated
2 TB olive oil and flour for rue
Milk (about 1/2 c. to 1 c.)
1 c. beef broth (or 1 cube boullion dissolved in 1 c. water)
1 c. grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper
Optional: basil, italian seasoning or any herbs of your choice

Start the sauce by heating up the olive oil. Add the grated/minced garlic and cook for about 20-30 seconds. Add flour and cook another 30 seconds. Add milk slowly and whisk mixture to start thickening sauce. Add beef broth while stirring constanly. Next, add parmesan cheese. At this point, determine if the sauce is thick to your liking. Add more milk or broth to thin it out slightly. Then add sausage, sundried tomatoes, salt and pepper, and any herbs you like. Cook pasta as directed and combine when serving.
