Ingredients
12 ounces Italian turkey sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
8 ounces penne pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced turkey sausage to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the sausage and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, chicken broth, crushed red pepper flakes, and black pepper.
Pour the honey garlic sauce into the skillet with the sausage and garlic. Stir well and bring to a simmer.
Add the cooked penne pasta to the skillet. Toss everything together to coat the pasta evenly in the sticky sauce. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and combined.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
