Penne w/Sauage, Red Potatoes, & Green Beans

Ingredients:
4oz uncooked penne or rotini pasta
 2 small red potatoes, quartered
8oz spicy Italian sausage
1/4 cup minced yellow onion
2 small garlic cloves, minced
1 cup chicken broth
1 TBS olive oil
1TBS butter

salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese (optional)

Directions:
1. Boil potatoes until tender on my stove its 26min. I set my timer for 16 min then add noodles with the potatoes then another 3 min add the frozen green beans then set timer for 7-8 more min this saves a couple of pots.

2. Brown the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat after you start the potatoes. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until onion is soft and sausage is done. pour broth and simmer 3min. Stir in the oil and butter.

3.Add green beans, potatoes, and pasta. Mix well with a large spoon. Add parsley and salt and pepper to taste.

4. Decrease the heat to low and sprinkle 1/2 cup cheese and additional if wanted over the mixture. cover the pan and cook for a few min until the cheese is melted. Serve warm.
