Penne With Sausage, Goat Cheese, and Tomato Relish
For the main dish:
- 2/3 pounds of Italian Turkey Sausage
- 2 Cups of Frozen Petite Peas
- 1 Pound Cooked Penne
- Tomato Relish (recipe below, start the water boiling and then do this first)
- 1/4 Cup Crumbled Goat Cheese
Spray medium skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium heat until hot. Add sausage and cook until browned, about 5 minutes, crumbling with a fork. Add peas; cook over medium heat until hot. Toss with penne; add tomato relish, and toss. Sprinkle with goat cheese.
For the tomato relish:
- 4 ripe red tomatoes, peeled (optional), seeded, and chopped
- 1 Tablespoon of finely minced shallot or scallion
- 1/2 teaspoon of red wine vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
- 8 basil leaves, chopped
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 2 Tablespoons of parsley (if you think it has flavor enough to add to the dish, or want to garnish it up.)
Combine chopped tomatoes, shallots, vinegar, oil, and basil in a bowl, and stir, let it stand for 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and add the parsley.
