"Giving Thanks" Pasta

Giving Thanks Pasta

     Ok so this dish was inspired by the chef at the restaurant I work at. He had one evening during a wine tasting dinner created this wonderful creamed corn sauce  that he served  under a chicken drumette. The sauce was so great we thought why not  make it into a sauce over pasta? So when I was hosting a "Thanksgiving" kind of night for some coworkers we thought why not take that sauce, add some turkey, and serve it over the pasta as our entrée for the evening? And that is exactly what I did. The sauce and pasta were very light but packed for of flavor. Now what  I mean about light in flavor was that it was overpowering or had too much of one flavor. It was soft on the pallet and very delicious. Hope you enjoy this "Giving Thanks" Pasta.
