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.
Food Network Kitchens Note: Grana Padano is a hard, grainy cow's milk cheese similar in flavor to Parmigiano-Reggiano.

My friend served this recipe for lunch for our card group! It was so delicious and tasty that all of us had a second helping. She used Italian pork sausage and large portobello mushrooms, sliced. She also stirred in a small amount of fresh homemade tomato sauce. I can't wait to make it for my family!!!

Very tasty, and very easy to prepare. I used hot turkey sausage to kick it up a bit. I also cut the recipe in half, but it was certainly more than two servings. I will make this again.

This is my fiance's favorite meal in the world. I make it with mild italian sausage and make it at least a couple times a month. I was surprised to see the online version is somewhat different from the version in Giada's book, which is what I use. For example, I cook the mushrooms a little longer, and the book calls for a little bit of pasta water to help moisten everything at the end. Definitely don't skip the last couple of steps of letting everything cook together for a few minutes before you serve. It really does improve the flavor.
