(Fake) Sausage and Mushroom Pasta



Ingredients: 

Tri-Color Rotini - 3 oz dry (1/3 of a 12 oz package)
Whole Wheat Rotini - 2 oz dry (it would be like 1/8 of a 16 oz package)
Gimme Lean Fake Ground Sausage  - 1/4 of a tube
Garlic - 2-4 cloves
Onion - a few slices, diced (optional)
White button mushrooms - 3-4
White Wine - 1/4 cup
Olive Oil - 1 tablespoon
Breakstone's Whipped Unsalted Butter - 1 tablespoon
Biazzo - Whole Milk Mozzarella Cheese - 4 oz
Sage (to taste)
Salt & Pepper (to taste)
Cayenne pepper (to taste, optional)

Cook your pasta according to package instructions or your whims.

Chop up your garlic and start it off in the butter and olive oil. Break/roll your fake sausage into small bite size bits and add them. Here you can add your chopped onion if you choose, or you can wait and add it raw at the end, which is my preference. Add some cayenne pepper here if you want this spicy.  And add your chopped mushrooms too.
When the sausage has browned, add the white wine, sage, salt and pepper and any other spices that appeal to you. Cover and let simmer until mushrooms and sausage are fully cooked.

Toss with pasta and serve!
