Gluten Free Penne with Sausage and Beans |
You can use Sweet Italian Turkey Sausage or ground Italian Seasoned Turkey in this dish. I have used both and like them both, but find it quicker to use the Italian Seasoned Turkey, as you don't have to remove it from the casing, as you do with the sausage. It makes a yummy left over too!

12 oz. package of gluten free penne
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 package of sweet Italian Turkey Sausage or Italian Seasoned Ground Turkey
1 small onion chopped
1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil
1 container of mascarpone cheese
1 tsp. salt
2 garlic cloves
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain pasta, reserving 1 cup of cooking liquid.
In a large skillet, warm the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the Sweet Italian Turkey Sausage (casings removed) or ground turkey, and onions, breaking up turkey into bite sized pieces. Once the onions are tender and the turkey is browned, add the garlic and cook for a minute. Add the beans, oregano and basil and cook for 2 more minutes. Add the cup of pasta liquid and stir, scraping up any brown bits from bottom of pan. Add the mascarpone cheese and stir until it dissolves. Let it simmer a few minutes to thicken a bit. Add the salt and hot pasta and stir to coat.
