Bow Tie Pasta with Italian Turkey Sausage

Original recipe found here

1 lb Sweet Italian Sausage, sliced into 1/4" pieces (I used regular Italian sausage)
1 T olive oil
1 medium white onion, chopped
1 lb bow tie pasta
1 c light cream
1 c chicken broth
1/4 t paprika
6 oz garlic and herb flavored feta cheese (I used Laughing Cow Garlic and Herb cheese)
1 tomato, diced
2 t fresh basil, minced

Cook pasta according to package directions and drain well.

Preheat olive oil in a skillet for about a minute.  Cook turkey sausage according to package directions. Slice turkey into 1/4" pieces. (I sliced before cooking and cooked and browned the sausage in pieces.) Add onions and saute until translucent.

In a 2 qt saucepan, bring cream and broth to a boil over med-high heat.  Reduce heat to medium; add paprika and cheese, whishing constantly until cheese is melted and smooth.

Add sausage mixture and stir until heated through.

In a serving bowl, toss pasta with turkey sausage mixture.  Sprinkle with tomatoes and basil.
