Sausage and Sun-dried Tomato Pasta

Now that I am working full-time and my husband works well over full-time we are not able to get to the grocery store as soon as we would like. So, I have found myself having to be very creative with the ingredients that I have on hand. As well as keeping in mind that we want it to be yummy and something that will warm-up well for future meals during our busy week. This recipe is not from scratch but it is still very yummy. Some may wonder why I am posting a post that is not from scratch, but the majority of my readers work full-time like me so this recipe will be perfect for them. The entire time I was in the kitchen cooking my husband was raving how yummy it smelled. Once it was served he continued to rave how yummy it tasted :)
