Description
You can use sweet or hot Italian turkey sausage for this dish - either one blends perfectly with the pasta sauce and fresh basil.
Prep time: 5 minutes
Start to finish: 20minutes
Ingredients
8 ounces spelt or whole-wheat rigatoni or penne
3/4 pound reduced-fat sweet or hot Italian turkey sausages
3 cups low-sugar pasta sauce
4 ounces shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese (1 cup)
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
While pasta is cooking, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add sausages and cook, turning often, until no longer pink inside, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and slice diagonally into 1/4-inch-thick pieces.
Heat pasta sauce over medium heat until hot. Place pasta, sausage, sauce, cheese, and basil in a large bowl and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper and serve hot.
