Fast Creamy Tomato Penne Recipe

Fast Creamy Tomato Penne Recipe

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) package penne pasta
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • large white onion, chopped
  • large green bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1 (16 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
  • 1 cup sour cream

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. While the pasta is cooking, melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and bell pepper, and saut until the vegetables are translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the ground pork to the pot and cook until browned and crumbly, about 7 to 10 minutes. Drain off any excess fat and transfer the cooked pork to a separate bowl.
  4. Pour the spaghetti sauce into the same pot and heat over medium heat until the sauce starts to bubble, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  5. Add the cooked penne pasta and pork mixture to the pot with the sauce, then stir in the sour cream. Cook everything together for another 5 minutes, until the dish is heated through.
