Ingredients
- 4 cups dried shell pasta
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil - Divided
- ⅓ cup minced yellow onion
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 pound ground turkey - I recommend a percentage around 93%. I don't recommend using 99% lean. The meat will be dry.
- 2 teaspoons salt free Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 ½ cups passata - You can find this near the canned tomatoes in the grocery store. It's tomato puree that has been strained. It usually comes in a glass jar.
- ¾ cup chicken bone broth
- ¼ cup unsweetened full-fat canned coconut milk - Or use heavy cream
- ⅔ cup frozen peas
- ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese - Plus, more for serving.
Instructions
- In a pot, bring salty water to a boil. Separately, heat a pan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan. Then, add minced onion and sauté for 1 minute. Next, add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes more.
- Add ground turkey to the pan with Italian seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Break up the turkey as it cooks with a spatula. Cook for about 6 minutes, or until the turkey is no longer pink.
- Pour the passata, chicken bone broth and coconut milk (or heavy cream) over the cooked turkey in the pan. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook for 12 minutes.
- Add the pasta to the boiling water to begin to cook during this time. Check the packaging to see how long until the pasta is cooked through.
- After 12 minutes, add frozen peas to the sauce. Stir and cook for 2 minutes.
- Drain the cooked pasta and add it to the pan with the sauce. Pour in 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle in ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese. Combine, turn off the heat and serve.
