Description

This quick and delicious ground turkey pasta dish comes together in under 30 minutes and offers all the comfort of a creamy sauce without the heavy cream.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 medium onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 cups white or cremini mushrooms
  • 1 lb (454g) 93/7% turkey mince
  • 1 jar (28oz/ 790g) Raos marinara sauce or your favorite marinara sauce
  • 1 bayleaf (optional)
  • 1/2 cup shredded parmesan
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 12 oz (340g) dry pasta (I used brown rice farfalle)
  • Fresh basil leaves

Instructions

  1. Crush and mince the garlic, and finely dice the onion and mushrooms. Add the garlic, onion, mushrooms, and olive oil to a large frying pan.
  2. Place the pan on the stove and turn the stove on to medium heat. Sauté the garlic, onions, and mushrooms until the onions become soft and translucent. Stir occasionally.
  3. Add the ground turkey to the pan and brown, breaking up the mince with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
  4. Pour the marinara sauce into the pan, followed by the parmesan and milk.
  5. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for approximately 15 minutes.
  6. While the sauce is simmering, cook the pasta in a large pot of salted water according to the instructions on the packet. Drain and pour the pasta back into the pot.
  7. Spoon the sauce over the pasta and stir to combine. (You should have more sauce than you need).
  8. Top the pasta with shredded basil and serve.
