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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Pour the spaghetti sauce into the same pot and heat over medium heat until the sauce starts to bubble, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- 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.
