Pasta & Kielbasa Skillet Dinner

• 16 ounces, weight Uncooked Penne Pasta (or Another Shape That You Prefer)
• 3 teaspoons Butter
• 1 pound Fully Cooked Kielbasa, Cut Into 1/4-inch Slices
• 3 teaspoons Minced Garlic
• 2 Tablespoons Cornstarch
• 3 cups Milk
• 2 cups Frozen Baby Peas
• 8 ounces, weight Canned Sliced Mushrooms, Drained
• 2 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese
• Salt And Pepper, to taste
• Hot Sauce, to taste

1. Cook pasta according to package instructions.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the butter.
3. When its melted add the sausage and garlic and saute it in the butter until the garlic starts to soften (2 minutes or so).
4. In a small bowl combine cornstarch and milk until smooth.
5. Gradually add the cornstarch mixture into the skillet and increase the heat to medium-high.
6. Bring to a boil and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly or until thickened.
7. You may want to reduce the heat to medium after this comes to a boil to keep from scorching mixture.
8. Drain pasta and add it into the skillet.
9. Stir in peas and mushrooms and cook over medium heat until they are tender.
10. Reduce heat to medium low and add cheese, hot sauce, salt and pepper and cook until cheese is melted.
11. Remove from heat and serve!
12. I sprinkled Mizithra cheese (that I bought from Old Spaghetti Factory) on top before serving.
