Sausage & Pea Pasta

Sometimes the simplest of ingredients are enough to blow your tastebuds right outta your mouth!

...

Okay, okay, I'm exaggerating, but you know it's good when there's that kind of description, right?! This recipe includes sausage, peas, pasta, onions, pesto and a little salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Very simple ingredients...but a very delicious, mouthwatering, can't-get-enough flavor to it!  You'll want to have more. You'll need to have more.

I believe this is the perfect main dish recipe, however, I could see it being a great side dish to a potluck or holiday meal too. It's really up to you :)
