Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 375Ā°F (190Ā°C). Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Cook the gluten free penne for 2 minutes less than the package's al dente time ā the pasta should be slightly underdone and still firm at the center, as it will finish cooking in the oven. Drain through a colander and set aside.

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through with no pink remaining, about 6ā8 minutes. Transfer the sausage to a plate, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.
