Ingredients:
- 8 oz. bowtie pasta (or any short cut pasta of choice)
- 1 lb Polidori Mild Italian Sausage Links
- 1 large onion chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ¼ cup pesto
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese
- ½ cup peas
- basil for garnish
Directions:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a big pinch of salt. Cook pasta according to package instructions.
- While pasta is cooking, heat a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage (casings removed) to the pan and begin breaking down using a potato masher or wooden spoon. Cook until sausage is golden brown, stirring frequently, about 7-9 minutes. Once the sausage is fully cooked, remove from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, drizzle in two tablespoons of olive oil and add the onion slices. Reduce heat to medium and cook until onions are golden and caramelized, stirring frequently, about 6-8 minutes.
- Once onions are caramelized, return the sausage and any formed juices to the pan. To create a sauce, stir in pesto, lemon juice, and parmesan. Toss in cooked pasta and green peas, then stir well. Check for seasoning and adjust to taste before serving. If you have fresh herbs like parsley or basil, sprinkle them in at the end right before serving.
