Spicy Sausage Penne - Pinterest #1

I decided to do a monthly experiment this year and blog about it.  If you don't know what Pinterest is, it's a website that allows you to "pin" pictures, ideas, recipes, etc. on a virtual bulletin board and it lets you browse other peoples boards and vice versa.  It's a fun way to share things on the internet but be careful, because it can be VERY addicting.  It's so easy to stare at fun ideas on Pinterest all day and not actually get anything done.  There is also a funny website called Pinstrosity that shows people's failed attempts to copy what they've pinned.  I'm going to do a Pinterest Experiment each month and see if I succeed or fail!  I will include a link to the original "pin" and the original picture vs. a picture of my version so you can see how well I did!

My first Pinterest Experiment is a recipe (most of them will probably be recipes since I'm not very crafty).  The picture of Spicy Sausage Penne looked so good I wanted to eat it as soon as I saw it.  I finally made it for dinner last week and it was good.  It was spicier than I expected, but I guess with "Spicy" in the title I should have known.  I forgot the green onions, so my picture doesn't look as good but it was pretty tasty.  I think I used a different cheese blend too since mine looks so yellow (or maybe I should blame that on my camera).  My verdict: it was good.  I would give myself a 7 out of 10 since I didn't follow the recipe exactly.  But, at least it wasn't a failure!  So, what do you think?  How did I do?
