We really enjoy this recipe. I usually use turkey brats with the casing removed. From Oxygen Magazine - May 2009
Ingredients:
12 ounces whole wheat fusilli
1/2 cup carrot, sliced
1/2 cup asparagus, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup broccoli floret
8 ounces turkey sausage
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
3 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
black pepper, to taste
Directions:
1. Boil water in a large pot and cook to package directions. Add carrots, asparagus and broccoli to boiling water in the last 3 minutes of cooking. Drain when finished and reserve 1/2 cup cooking liquid.
2. Cut sausage into 1-inch slices. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, add sausage and cook approximately 8 minutes, until almost cooked through. Add tomatoes and continue cooking 4-5 minutes or until sausage is cooked through.
3. Add pasta and vegetables to sausage and tomatoes; add reserved cooking liquid and combine thoroughly to heat through.
4. Stir in basil and pepper to taste and serve.
