Sausage and Pea Protein Pasta
Sautéed lean turkey sausage and tender green peas tossed with protein-rich chickpea pasta in a bright, zesty lemon-garlic sauce.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz chickpea pasta
5 oz lean ground turkey sausage
0.5 cup frozen green peas
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta according to package directions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the ground turkey sausage to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, and cook until browned and cooked through.
Stir in the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the frozen peas to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through and vibrant green.
Reserve 2 tablespoons of pasta water, then drain the pasta and add it to the skillet with the sausage and peas.
Toss everything with the lemon juice, sea salt, black pepper, and reserved pasta water to create a light sauce.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately.
