Ingredients
- 1 pound shell pasta
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large onion (sliced, about 2 cups)
- 4 garlic cloves (chopped)
- 1 pound sweet Italian sausage
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 2 cups reduced sodium chicken stock
- 1 1/2 cups Parmesan cheese (divided)
- 10 ounces frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- juice of 1/2 lemon (about 2 tablespoons)
- 2 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.
- While the pasta is cooking, make the sauce. In a large sauté pan over medium heat add the extra virgin olive oil. Add the sliced onions and sauté for about 6 to 8 minutes or until lightly browned. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
- Remove the Italian sausage from the casing and add it to the sauté pan. Break the sausage into bite sized pieces with a wooden spatula. Cook the sausage until browned and cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add the white wine to the sauté pan and bring to a boil. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add the chicken stock to the sauté pan. Bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes. The liquid should reduce by about one-third.
- Add 1 cup of the Parmesan cheese to the sauce and stir to combine.
- Add the peas and butter to the sauce and cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until the peas are heated and the butter has melted.
- Add the cooked pasta and stir to thoroughly combine it with the sauce.
- Add the lemon juice and stir to combine.
- Serve sprinkled with the parsley and more Parmesan cheese.
