 You can use sweet or hot Italian turkey sausage for this dish - either one blends perfectly with the pasta sauce and fresh basil. 
 Prep time: 5 minutes 
 Start to finish: 20minutes 
 Ingredients
 8 ounces spelt or whole-wheat rigatoni or penne 
 3/4 pound reduced-fat sweet or hot Italian turkey sausages 
 3 cups low-sugar pasta sauce 
 4 ounces shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese (1 cup) 
 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil 
 Salt and freshly ground black pepper 
 Instructions
 Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside. 
 While pasta is cooking, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add sausages and cook, turning often, until no longer pink inside, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and slice diagonally into 1/4-inch-thick pieces. 
 Heat pasta sauce over medium heat until hot. Place pasta, sausage, sauce, cheese, and basil in a large bowl and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper and serve hot.
