Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Farfalle (bow-tie pasta)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 12 oz Turkey sausage (casings removed)
- 8 oz White mushrooms (sliced)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped, optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the farfalle according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain and set the pasta aside.
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the turkey sausage to the skillet, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Cook for 6-8 minutes until browned and fully cooked through. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until they release their moisture and start to brown.
Add the minced garlic to the mushrooms and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the peas, chicken broth, and heavy cream. Simmer the mixture for 3-4 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.
Return the cooked turkey sausage to the skillet and stir to mix thoroughly.
Add the cooked farfalle to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine and taste for seasoning, adjusting if necessary.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Farfalle with Turkey Sausage, Peas, and Mushrooms.
