I received this recipe many months ago via an email newsletter from Carrabba’s Italian Grill. I printed the recipe out and it sat for a few months. The other month when I attended the Carrabba’s Tastemaker Event this is the dish they gave us to take home and enjoy for dinner that evening. I finally made this recipe at home, and it was just as good as it was the night we ate it for dinner from Carrabba’s!

- 1-1/2lbs Italian Sausage, crumbled

- 1lb penne pasta
- 1/2 cup grated romano cheese
- 1/4 cup ricotta cheese
