Thick, creamy sauce that clings to al dente penne, giving a rich and smooth mouthfeel. Small rounds of kabanos add a slightly chewy, meaty bite while canned peas, corn and carrots provide occasional soft pop and contrast.
Smoky and savory notes from the kabanos and sautéed onion/garlic dominate, layered with warm dairy creaminess and a faint tang from mustard. A touch of sesame oil adds a subtle nutty fragrance on the finish.
Crisp, unoaked white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc or a light pilsner to cut richness; alternatively sparkling water with a lemon wedge.
Simple green salad with a bright vinaigrette, crusty garlic bread or a baguette, and a small pickled cucumber or coleslaw to provide acidity and crunch.
Boil water in a large pot, add salt, and cook penne pasta according to package directions (usually 10-12 minutes). Drain and set aside.
While pasta cooks, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, cook for 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add sliced kabanos to the pan and cook for 3 minutes until lightly browned. Drain the canned vegetables and add them to the pan, stirring for 1 minute.
Pour in the cream and add mayonnaise and mustard. Stir well until smooth and creamy. Let it simmer for 2 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and sesame oil.
Add the cooked pasta to the cream sauce, toss everything together until well coated. Cook for 1 more minute and serve hot.
