Recipe By: Sarah Thomas-Drawbaugh @healthyishfoods

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces DeLallo Orecchiette Pasta
  • 1-2 tablespoons DeLallo Extra Virgin Avocado Oil
  • 8 ounces mild Italian ground sausage
  • ½ cup sweet onion, diced small
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • pinch kosher salt, to taste
  • few turns cracked black pepper, to taste
  • ½ – ¾ cup low sodium chicken broth
  • ¾ – 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 cup peas, fresh or frozen
  • 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped small
  • red pepper flakes, optional garnish

Directions

  • Boil a pot of water, season it with kosher salt and cook the pasta according to the package. Al dente is best. Drain off the excess water using a colander, drizzle with avocado oil and set the pasta aside.
  • Heat a sauté pan over medium high heat. Add the avocado oil. Once the oil is hot, add the mild Italian ground sausage. Sauté the sausage until it’s golden brown, then add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent. Season everything with a pinch of kosher salt and a few turns of cracked black pepper.
  • Next, deglaze the pan with low sodium chicken broth. Once the broth reduces by half, reduce the heat to medium/low and add the heavy cream. Stir well.
  • Next, add the grated parmesan cheese. Once the cheese is melted, add the cooked pasta and peas. Toss until everything is well coated in the sauce and the peas are warmed through. Garnish with red pepper flakes and fresh chopped parsley, enjoy!
  • *If the sauce gets too thick, add a touch of broth to help thin it back out.
