Name: Rigatoni with Turkey and Broccoli

The spiritual beauty of the Father and the Savior seemed to engross my whole mind; and it was the instinctive feeling of my heart, “Thou art; and there is none beside Thee.” I never felt such an entire emptiness of self-love or any regard to any private, selfish interest of my own. It seemed to me that I had entirely done with myself. I felt that the opinions of the world concerning me were nothing, and that I had no more to do with any outward interest of my own than with that of a person whom I never saw. The glory of God seemed to be all, and in all, and to swallow up every wish and desire of my heart.

INSTRUCTIONS

Welcome to On the Lighter Side of Cooking month at Recipe-a-Day.com. The
Cook and Kitchen Staff have exchanged the fatty pork sausage with turkey,
replaced the heavy cream with skim milk and strengthened the flavor with a
little extra seasoning in this classic sausage and rigatoni main course.
At 455 calories per serving, it.s still a hearty meal with 10 grams of fat,
but only 1.9 grams of saturated fat in the meal. Prepare it tonight and
keep your resolutions in place on the first day of this New Year!
Put a pot of lightly salted water on to boil for the rigatoni. Meanwhile,
bring sausages and 1/4-inch water to simmer over medium heat in a large
skillet. Cook sausages, uncovered for 12 to15-minutes until browned on all
sides. Transfer sausages to an area to cool and cut into 1/2-inch slices.
Heat oil over medium in a large heavy saucepan. Add onion, pepper, garlic
and fennel seeds. Cook, stirring often, for about 5-minutes to soften
vegetables. Sprinkle flour evenly over the cooking vegetables and gradually
whisk in milk, stirring constantly until thickened. Remove mixture from
heat, cover and keep warm.
Cook broccoli in boiling water for about 3-minutes and remove with a
slotted spoon, add to the vegetable-sauce mixture. In the pot of boiling
water cook rigatoni as directed. Drain and transfer to a large warmed
serving bowl. Add vegetable-sauce mixture and toss to coat. Add salt and
pepper, then sprinkle with parmesan cheese and serve immediately.

A Message from our Provider:

“Thankfulness to God is a recognition that God in His goodness and faithfulness has provided for us and cared for us, both physically and spiritually. It is a recognition that we are totally dependent upon Him; that all that we are and have comes from God. #Jerry Bridges”
