Smoked Sausage & Spaghetti Skillet Dinner

You know I love trying new recipes, especially ones I can throw together quickly with ingredients I have on hand. I knew I wanted a home-cooked meal today but wanted to prepare something quick. While grocery shopping today, I decided to try a package of Johnsonville Smoked Sausage (premium cooking sausage). I read the recipe on the back of the package, and it sounded good! Turns out, it was. Of course, I added a few extra ingredients for more flavor, and shook a little Parmesan cheese on top before serving. It was light, flavorful, and filling.
