Ziti With Creamy Pesto and Italian Sausage
"My family loves this recipe. It is something I came up with on my own. It meets my criteria of quick, easy and yummy. I usually pre cook the sausage so that when I come home I just have to boil the pasta.
I have also substituted the sausage with chicken; the pesto sauce with fresh pesto; or the pesto with sun-dried tomato pesto sauce. Would be great with mushrooms as well."

I made this last night however I made a few changes. I used 7 grain pasta and used half of the ingredients because I was cooking for only three and put in a little bit of red pepper flakes ( I love spicy food, on my plate only). Everyone loved it, including my two year old. I had to to write! This is really a keeper
