Creamy Sausage and Ricotta Cavatappi
Enjoy a delightful twist on a traditional pasta dish with savory turkey sausage, creamy ricotta, and hearty whole wheat cavatappi. This dish balances robust flavors with a velvety sauce accentuated by garlic and fresh spinach, making it a satisfying option for any meal time.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Turkey Sausage
1/4 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese
1 cup Whole Wheat Cavatappi Pasta (cooked)
1 cup Baby Spinach
2 cloves Garlic
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Fresh Basil (optional)
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat cavatappi pasta until al dente, then drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.
Slice the turkey sausage into rounds and add to the pan. Sauté until the sausage begins to brown evenly, about 4-5 minutes.
Stir in the baby spinach and allow it to wilt for 1-2 minutes.
Lower the heat and add the ricotta cheese, stirring gently to create a creamy sauce that coats the sausage and spinach.
Mix in the cooked pasta until well combined and heated through. If desired, garnish with fresh basil before serving.
