Tipsy Italian Sausage Pasta

Ingredients

• 1 pound Italian sausage
• 1 pound ground turkey (beef or chicken can be used)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (ground)
• 4 cloves garlic clove (minced)
• 1/2 cup white wine (I used Chardonnay. Or substitute chicken broth.)
• 28 ounce can diced tomatoes with juice (undrained)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (fresh, chopped)
• 1/4 cup basil (fresh, chopped)
• 16 ounce pasta (any shape)

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large pan or braising pot, brown sausage and turkey (beef or chicken). Drain grease if necessary. Since I used ground turkey, I didn't have excess to drain.

2. 2

   While meat is browning, cook pasta according to directions on the package. Drain.

3. 3

   Clear an area in the center of the pan where the meat is and add the garlic. Stir and cook 1 minute. Add the salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning and stir together with the garlic and the meat.

4. 4

   Add the white wine and cook down until reduced to about half.

5. 5

   Add the tomatoes in their juice, pasta, and parsley. Reduce heat to low and cook 4 to 5 minutes.

6. 6

   Remove from heat and top with fresh basil. Serve immediately.
