I found this recipe in Woman's World and made it last night. It is so fresh tasting and flavourful. It is a nice change for a pasta dish. Ingredients:

12 ounces chicken sausage |
1 onion, chopped |

1/2 cup white wine (or chicken broth) |
8 fresh basil leaves |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated |
1/4 cup fresh basil, thinly sliced |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions adding peas during the last 5 minutes of cooking time.
2. Drain pasta and reserve 1/2 cup of cooking water.
3. Meanwhile, heat 1 tblsp. of oil in a large non-stick skillet over med. high heat.
4. Add the sausage and cook until browned and cooked through.
5. Remove sausage from the pan and reserve.
6. Slice the sausage into 1/2 thick slices.
7. Heat the remaining oil over medium heat in the same skillet as the sausage was removed from.
8. Add onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
