Ingredients

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 pound ground turkey sausage, removed from casing
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
10 ounces cremini mushrooms, coarsely chopped
1 (10 ounce) package frozen peas, defrosted slightly
1 pound dried farfalle pasta
1/2 cup freshly grated Grana Padano cheese

Directions

In a large pot, bring 6 quarts of
salted water to a boil.

In a large saute pan over high heat, add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season turkey with salt and pepper. Add
turkey and saute breaking any large lumps until golden brown. Remove meat from pan and set aside. Add 2
tablespoons olive oil to pan and heat. Add chopped mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Saute until all
the liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Add the peas and saute for 4 minutes. Return
the meat to the pan and cook for another 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

When the pot of water has come to a boil, add pasta and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain in a
colander. Return pasta to the pot and add the meat mixture. Combine thoroughly and gently cook over medium
heat for 5 minutes. Drizzle in remaining olive oil. If the mixture is dry, do not hesitate to use more olive
oil if necessary. Check the seasoning. Turn off the heat and add the grated cheese. Stir well and serve in
large bowl.
