Lean turkey sausage links spice up this hearty sauce that turns pasta into a splendid main dish. "I blend a cup of the sauce for my young son, so there are no chunks of vegetables, and he loves it," says Laurinda Johnston, a field editor in Belchertown, Massachusetts.

    This sauce is okay; it lacked in flavor somewhat. I did leave out the celery because my boyfriend hates it.
