This recipe mostly came from my Giada's Family Dinners cookbook. I just have to say that I have loved every single thing I have ever made from any of Giada's cookbooks - so, if it's from her book, it has to be good!
First I browned and broke up a 2ft section of Winner's smoked sausage in olive oil. I have no idea where else you can get sausage like this. It's in the casing and purchased from the butcher. Now that I live in the city, I haven't actually ever been to a "butcher market", so maybe they have sausage like this there. After the sausage was browned, I took it out and added 1/2c sliced sun-dried tomatoes and 2 cloves garlic, minced. I let them cook for a few minutes, then added 1 can drained artichoke hearts. After they cooked together for a minute, I added 1/2c white wine, 1c chicken broth, a few pinches of crushed red pepper, and about 1/2tsp dried basil. This started to boil and I let it simmer while I boiled 1/2 box of whole wheat penne.
Just before the penne was done, I added the sausage back in, then added the penne. I sprinkled about 1/2c parmesan cheese and mixed it all in. The whole house smelled sooo good and it tasted just as good - well done, again, Giada!!!!!
Here is a link to Giada's recipe from Food Network. This is just a bit different from the cookbook.
