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.

    I added a clove of garlic at the beginning and tossed in some fresh basil, made a huge difference. Excellent food!

    Good dish for kids

    Rated: 3 stars out of 5
    Since I don't have kids, this was not a good dish for me. The dish needs some more flavor for an adult palate. If I do decide... to make it again, I'm sauteing onions and garlic, and adding a lot of hot pepper flakes. Perhaps a more tasty sausage would help, but I didn't have much of a choice at our local grocery.Read more

    Fast and hearty, needs some tweaking

    Rated: 3 stars out of 5
    This recipe really does only take about 20-25 minutes. However, this is another of her recipes that just can not be... classified as Italian because of the lack of flavorings. If it weren't for the sausage, I would not even consider it again. The sausage filled in the holes for some base flavor (recipe only calls for salt and pepper), but still the dish was bland. I think it could definitely use some chopped onions and garlic in the mushroom saute phase...adding a can of whole stewed tomatoes squeezed in at this stage would also really make it more nutritionally well rounded. I would also add basil and/or oregano to truly bring it under the Italian classification. Read more

    Household favorite

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    This dish is so easy and great for a weeknight meal. My whole family loves it. Definitely a staple in our house. I... sometimes use Italian sausage instead of turkey sausage and I also coat the pasta with chicken broth at the end to keep it a little moist. It's so yummy! Read more
