Spicy Sausage with Smashed Peas Pasta

I took a lot of this recipe from the Food Network, but made some changes.

1# Hot Sausage
2 cloves garlic, minced
1-2C thawed frozen peas
1 1/2C Ricotta Cheese
Whole Wheat Fettuccine
7 large fresh Basil Leaves
1/2C grated Parmesan Reggiano cheese

In a large pot boil water for pasta

In a large skillet brown sausage, then at the end add garlic cook another few minutes then add peas to pan. Smash then as you cook another 2-3 minutes. Then add to skillet the cooked pasta from the water, then the ricotta cheese and Parmesan and salt and pepper. Toss in the skillet then just before serving add the basil and serve.
