This one is a warm and hearty pasta sauce, great for a cold night. It’s also very low fat and full of healthy vegetables. This recipe can easily be made vegan or vegetarian by eliminating the turkey sausage or replacing it with a meat-substitute sausage.

- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3/4 lb of spicy turkey sausage, sliced into bite-sized pieces

- 1 cup white wine
- salt
- pepper
- red pepper flakes
- 1 cup diced fresh tomato
Instructions
In the work bowl of your food processor, add the onion, garlic, mushrooms, basil, olive oil, white wine and a dash of salt. Grind into a thick paste. You may need to work in batches.
In a hot skillet, brown the sausage on all sides. Add the mixture from the food processor and simmer until the sausage is cooked through.
