Orechiette with turkey sausage and mascarpone

Ingredients
  • ½ lb orechiette
  • 1 onion (chopped)
  • 1 lb turkey sausage
  • 2 tbsp oregano (chopped)
  • ½ cup mascarpone
Instructions
  • Cook the pasta.
  • Sauté the onion, then add the sausage, then the oregano.
  • Add some pasta water and the mascarpone.
  • Add pasta, salt, pepper.
Notes
  • The turkey sausage from Whole Foods didn't seem as tasty as the one from Berkeley Bowl.
  • I used leftover ziti and rigatoni, but orechiette would have been nicer.
  • Tasted quite plain so I added some thyme and butter.
  • Still quite plain overall. Original recipe has cannellini beans, but I don't like them. Mushrooms and spinach might be nice.
