Fettuccine with Sausage and Mascarpone

• 1 Lb Fettucine Pasta
• 1 Lb Sweet Italian Sausage (removed from the casing)
• 1 10 Oz bag frozen sweet peas (thawed)
• 2 Small Onions chopped
• 3/4 Cup Mascarpone cheese
• 1/2 Cup White wine
• About 4 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (enough to cover the bottom of the pan)
• Fresh Black Pepper (to taste)

Cook the pasta in salted boiling water until al dente.
In a large sauté pan brown the sausage in the olive oil. About 7-10 minutes.
With a slotted spoon transfer it to a plate leaving the rendered fat in the pan. Set aside.
Add the onions to the pan and cook until the edges start to brown.
Add the wine and reduce.
Add the peas and cook for 2 minutes. Add salt to taste.
Add the sausage back into the pan and sauté all together for about 5 minutes. Add the al dente pasta and mascarpone and toss together.
Finish with fresh ground black pepper.
