Pasta with Tomato Sauce and Turkey Sausage

This is a great go to meal for any night of the week!

1 package of Jennie-O Sweet Italian Turkey Sausage, remove the casings
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1 28-ounce can of crushed tomatoes (any brand will do)
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon dried Basil
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 cup Part Skim Ricotta cheese
salt and pepper to your liking
1 box of uncooked pasta of your choice (I use Barilla mini Rotini pasta that is rich in fiber)

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add your turkey sausage, cook until done and then drain and leave on towel.
Back to the large skillet add the minced garlic and then tomato sauce and crushed tomatoes.....let that marinate for about 5 minutes and then add the red pepper flakes, basil, salt and pepper......let that go another 5 to 10 minutes.
Then add the turkey sausage to the tomato mixture. Put the lid on the skillet and simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes.
Then add the ricotta cheese and let that go another 10 minutes.

Serve over cooked pasta and Enjoy!!!!!
