Sausage, Mushed Peas and Pasta - Can It Get Better?

This recipe came from a very recent episode of Everyday Italian with Giada De Laurentiis--did I mention that I love her? It's an easy and flavorful way to change a boring pasta repertoire. And because the dish is rich and super meaty, guys absolutely love it. Dan devoured it in minutes and went back for seconds.

Here's how to make it from start to finish. And to create a healthier version, you can always substitute the sausage for ground turkey or chicken. I swapped out the Pecorino Romano topping for smoked mozzarella but otherwise I stuck to the recipe--it was that easy!
