How to make Premio Pumpkin Pasta with Sausage:
1. Clean the mushrooms, remove their stems and slice the caps. Mince your garlic and chop your yellow onion.
2. Cook the bowtie pasta according to the directions on the package.
3. Add olive oil to a pan and warm it over medium-high heat. Remove the Premio sausage from its casing and add it to the pan. Use your spoon or spatula to break up the sausage links into small pieces. Add your onions once the sausage is about half-cooked, and add your mushrooms about two minutes later. Remember to stir the contents of your pan frequently.
4. When the sausage is almost done, add the garlic and cook for an additional minute or two. Add the remaining ingredients — except your bowtie pasta — and bring everything to a boil, stirring constantly.
5. Lower the heat and let the ingredients in your skillet simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes, until things thicken up a bit.
6. Add your drained pasta to the pan and stir over low heat. Garnish each individual dish with fresh parsley and cheese and serve.
