INGREDIENTS
5 oz Lean Turkey Sausage
0.75 cup Whole Grain Pasta (cooked)
0.5 cup Tomato Sauce
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
0.5 medium Yellow Onion
2 cloves Garlic
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese
3 sprigs Fresh Basil
PREPARATION
Slice the lean turkey sausage into rounds. Dice half a medium yellow onion, chop the red bell pepper into strips, and mince the garlic.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onions and minced garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the sliced turkey sausage and red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook until the sausage is lightly browned and the peppers are tender, approximately 5-6 minutes.
Pour in the tomato sauce and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes to meld the flavors. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Meanwhile, prepare whole grain pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and reserve a splash of pasta water if needed.
Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet with the sausage ragu. If the sauce needs loosening, add a bit of the reserved pasta water.
Plate the dish and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and torn fresh basil leaves before serving.
