Though I grew up eating a lot of rice and beans, I truly love eating pasta as well. I tend to cook at least one pasta dish each week and find that spaghetti is a go-to easy meal that works well for my family. Recently, I’ve been using more Wild Oats Marketplace Organic products, especially since I can find them at really great prices at my local Walmart! I previously told you all about Wild Oats Organic products when they first appeared in Walmart stores, plus shared a recipe for easy grilled chicken spaghetti using Wild Oats pasta sauce and noodles! Now that the variety of Wild Oats products available at Walmart stores is expanding, I wanted to share another spaghetti night idea for a quick and easy meal. Check out this simple recipe for Turkey Sausage Penne, using Wild Oats Organic products and fresh ingredients found at Walmart!
