Penne Pasta with Vodka Sauce Chicken and Sausage

 
Chicken and Sausage Penne Pasta with Vodka Sauce
 
This flavorful Italian pasta dish will solve any type of hunger and craving you may have. This version of Penne Pasta uses a baked brined chicken, both chicken breast & thighs, as well as rich and flavorful Andouille sausage.  The rich Vodka sauce has a unique twist because I used a Serrano pepper to add some life to it.  ARIBA!
