Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. In a large nonstick skillet warm 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat; saute turkey bacon until brown and crisp. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels; set aside. (Reserve pan drippings.).
  2. Put pepper, carrots, celery, onion, mushrooms and garlic in a food processor; pulse until finely chopped.
  3. Over a medium-high flame, heat the Italian dressing in a Dutch oven. For additional flavor, add 1-2 teaspoons of the reserved pan drippings. Saute the chopped vegetables for six (6) minutes, or until the onions turn clear and the garlic starts to dance . Pour all ingredients into a bowl and reserve for later.
  4. Return Dutch oven to medium-high heat and add the turkey sausage. Cook for approximately four (4) minutes or until no longer pink; breaking up clumps as it cooks. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, bacon, fried vegetables, basil, oregano, bay leaf, allspice, salt, pepper, wine, and lemon peel. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; partially cover and simmer slowly for 30 minutes. Remove from heat and take out bay leaf and lemon peel. Stir in cream cheese until well blended.
  5. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain well. Transfer to a large serving bowl and add a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, parsley and a half cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well.
  6. Spoon sauce over pasta and serve immediately with crusty Italian bread, a green tossed salad and a glass of Chianti. Add your favorite Dino tunes and your meal is complete!
