Introduction

Great as a main dish or a side in a smaller portion. Have also used as a 'pasta course' in a several course meal. . .

You can use a fresh turkey sausage with this as well. . .doesn't work so well with chicken. Nutritional value will be enhanced if you use a whole wheat or 'smart Taste' pasta. . .

I've also tried with canned diced tomatoes which didn't work so well. Great as a main dish or a side in a smaller portion. Have also used as a 'pasta course' in a several course meal. . .
