Spaghetti with Snap Peas, Turkey Sausage and Ricotta

September 19, 2013

The ingredients in this dish are simple and natural. The original recipe was vegetarian, but I have some meat lovers in the house, so I added some lean turkey sausage. You could add chicken, or red meat sausage if you would like. Only taking about 30 minutes to make, this dish is a great healthy, quick and fresh meal you can serve to your family. If you have leftovers like I do, serve this the next night and you're family will be thanking you two nights in a row!

1 pound whole wheat spaghetti
1 pound sugar snap peas, cut into thirds
1/2 cup asiago cheese, grated
2 tablespoons olive oil
juice of 1 lemon
1 cup ricotta
1 package lean turkey sausage, removed from casings
salt
pepper

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook for 2 minutes under the recommended cooking time. Add the snap peas to the water and cook for the final 2 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of pasta...
