  • Heat oil in large pot over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook and stir until almost browned, about 5 minutes. Add onion and garlic and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Draining really isn't necessary. Add tomato sauce, basil, parsley, and pepper; heat to a mild boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain.
  • Remove sauce from heat and stir in salad dressing. Pour desired amount over pasta and serve.
