Food for Thought

I've never eaten pasta without some kind of sauce and I must say, this recipe did not disappoint.  This was the first time for me to eat Italian Turkey sausage and I was slightly hesitant to try it, but it was seasoned well and tasted great.  The crushed pepper added some flair and spiciness, however, it was just the right amount for me.  Be careful on how much crushed pepper you add in, unless of course, you want to sweat it out.   This recipe was easy to make, healthy, and very filling.  I ate around one cup and felt satisfied.  Two thumbs up!
