Description

This recipe is easy, kid-friendly and budget-friendly, and not to mention SCRUMPTIOUS!

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Bowtie Pasta
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 3 cloves Garlic, Minced Or Finely Chopped
  • ½ whole White Onion, Finely Diced
  • 2-½ whole Sweet Italian Turkey Sausage Links
  • 1 can (14.5 Oz. Can) Tomato Sauce
  • 1 can (14.5 Oz. Can) Italian Diced Tomatoes
  • ¾ teaspoons Oregano
  • ½ teaspoons Basil
  • 1 dash Fresh Ground Black Pepper
  • ⅔ cups Ricotta Cheese
  • ½ cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • ¼ cups Shredded Parmesan Cheese
  • Fresh Parsley, For Garnish

Preparation

Cook pasta according to directions and desired doneness. Drain and set aside. While the pasta is cooking, start on the sauce. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and saute the garlic and onions until translucent. Once cooked, add the turkey sausage, squeeze it out of the thin casing, then break up into smaller pieces and brown. Once browned, add in the tomato sauce and diced tomatoes, along with the spices. Let that simmer for about 15 minutes till it reduces a little and become like a thick Italian gravy (Italians call their tomato sauce “gravy” and it’s typically thick and rich). Once thickened, add in your cheeses. Mix until melted through, add in the pasta, toss and serve warm. Garnish with a little shredded Parmesan and parsley.

Delicious and very simple to make. My husband and son loved it. I am thinking it will be even better as a leftover for my lunch tomorrow!

Tasty. My kids loved it. Next time I may add a little salt, or just garnish with a bit more parmesan ;)
