Fusilli with Italian Sausage & Arugula

From EatingWell: December 2005/January 2006, EatingWell Serves Two

A whole teaspoon of black pepper along with a small amount of Italian turkey sausage deliver a piquant flavor without adding too much in the way of saturated fat and calories in this quick pasta dish. For maximum taste, use a high-quality cheese.

I had the same issue as others with the cheese clumping into one big mess. So I instead, added a little cheese at a time directly to the pasta. I got better results. Overall the flavor was good but not great. My picky boyfriend enjoyed it though so for those who like the less healhty food, this is a good way to sneak in some healthiness. I think if the sauce was a lighter garlic parmesean sauce it would taste better than a thicker cheese sauce.

This dish was fast, easy and fantastic! Everyone in the house LOVED it! We dont eat meat so i substituted veggie sausage, it was amazing! Its very important to follow the recipe so that it comes out right, definitly use the italian cheese that it calls for NOT parm...makes a huge difference!

This is a very easy recipe. I used shells because that's what I had on hand. I over-did the water in the parm b/c I though it would be too dry. Now mixed with the pan juices, my dish is a little runny, but that's ok. I think it would work well with any ground meat, not just Italian sausage.
