Pasta Primavera With Italian Turkey Sausage

This Primavera uses fresh veggies from your garden (or in my case, the farmer's market) and turkey sausage. The sauce is a lot lighter and more refreshing than most primavera recipes and my husband and I love to have it in the summer for a healthy pasta dish. I have also successfully used sweet italian sausage here as well. It is from allrecipes.com and states to cut the raw turkey sausage into slices. But I brown it well, then cut it and proceed with the below instructions.

Yummy! We loved this recipe! If you & your guests don't like spicy food, I would suggest omitting the red pepper flakes. My husband & I loved the heat but my Mom found it too spicy for her. I only made some minor changes: I used regular turkey sausage as that is what I always have on hand; I omitted the onion as a personal preference & omitted the squash as my grocer didn't have any on my shopping day; I used 2 Tbsp dried basil instead of the fresh leaves. Loads & loads of flavour & quite easy to make.Reply
