Spicy Sausage Pasta

What is better than a dinner that only requires one skillet? How about a incredibly easy and delicious dinner that only requires one skillet?

This dish was creamy, flavorful and tasted just as good the next day. I love it when leftovers taste just as good as the day you made it!
