Instructions
- 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add 1 tbsp salt, then cook the penne according to package directions until al dente — tender with a slight resistance at the center. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water before draining, then drain the pasta through a colander.

While the pasta cooks, heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the vegan sausage in a single layer and cook, undisturbed, for 3 minutes, then stir and continue cooking for 2–3 minutes more until browned on most sides. Transfer the sausage to a plate and set aside.
