Turkey Sausage Bow Tie Skillet

I have really been into skillet meals lately aka anything that requires a few ingredients and is super simple to make.  Life is all about whatever is easiest these days.  This dish comes together in one pan and is a cinch to make.  It freezes and reheats beautifully so you'll want to fix extras.  Even my toddler liked it so you know it will be a crowd-pleaser.



















Prep time: 15 mins
Cook time: 25 mins
Serves: 4

INGREDIENTS:
8 oz uncooked bow tie or rotini pasta
1lb Smokey Turkey Sausage, cut into 1/4 inch rounds
1 package sliced mushrooms
2 tbsp butter
2 tsp minced garlic
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 1/2 cups milk
1 1/2 cups fresh snow peas
1 cup (4 oz) shredded cheddar cheese

DIRECTIONS:
Cook pasta according to package directions.  Meanwhile in a large skillet, saute sausage and mushrooms in butter. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer.

Combine cornstarch and milk until smooth; gradually add to the skillet.  Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.  Drain pasta; add to sausage, mixture.  Stir in the peas and cheese; cook until cheese is melted.
