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.

    Good with some additions

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    I agree with the others who have suggested sauteing onion and garlic before the mushrooms. I also added a can of... fire-roasted diced tomatoes and some cream after the mushrooms are cooked, then adding the peas and sausage. I simmered it all until the sauce thickened a bit and then just tossed it with the pasta. So much better- not as dry, much more flavorful. Read more

    Easy, Quick, and Delicious!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I've made this recipe many times, and I've never used peas. I use asparagus or spinach - which my family loves! I also only... use hot Italian turkey sausage. because I think it has more flavor. It's even good for lunch the next day.Read more

    Great Go-To Pasta Dish

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    I highly recommend this recipe. I use it as a go-to recipe for family meals and always get raves-and requests for the... recipe. To make it kid friendly I use "sweet" italian sausage, for adults I use "spicy" and add the red pepper flakes as mentioned in another review. I also recommend cremini mushrooms to add more earthiness. Enjoy!Read more
