Servings: persons

4 ounces goat cheese
4 ounces sun-dried tomatoes in oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 green onions, cleaned, ends trimmed and rough-chopped
2 tablespoons oil from sun-dried tomatoes (or use olive oil)
1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper
1 1/2 pounds fresh shelled sweet peas (you want about 2 cups of peas total; baby frozen peas can be used instead of fresh)
1/2 pound penne pasta (or pasta of your choosing - enough for 4 servings)
1 pound hot chicken sausage links (casings removed)
3/4 cup almond milk
grated Parmesan cheese for garnish
Fresh basil, julienned for garnish

1
Combine goat cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, green onions, salt, and pepper in food processor and process for about 2 minutes. While processing add only enough oil to reach a smooth and creamy texture.
2
Remove all peas from their shells and drop into an inch of boiling water for two minutes. Immediately strain them and shock in a bowl with ice and cold water, or spread them out on a cookie sheet and refrigerate them (this will prevent them from overcooking and getting mushy).
3
Cook pasta to al dente, strain, and set aside.
4
Remove spicy chicken sausage from the casing. Saute in a large saucepan over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, until cooked completely.
5
Add the goat cheese sun-dried tomato mixture, and stir until thoroughly mixed.
6
Stir in almond milk, then let the mixture heat up completely.
7
Carefully fold in the al dente pasta and sweet peas.
8
Garnish with fresh chopped basil, Parmesan cheese, and serve with crusty grilled bread.
