Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 carrot, peeled and finely chopped
1 celery stalk, finely chopped
1 pound shredded cooked turkey (preferably dark meat)
3 cups marinara sauce
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound spaghetti
Freshly grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a heavy large frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the carrot and celery and saute until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the turkey and saute 1 minute. Add the marinara sauce. Decrease the heat to medium-low and simmer gently for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to blend, stirring often. Stir in the basil. Season the sauce, to taste, with salt and pepper. (The sauce can be made 1 week ahead. Cool the sauce completely, then transfer it to a container and freeze for future use. Bring the sauce to a simmer before using.)
  • Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in a large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring often, about 8 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Add the pasta to the sauce and toss to coat, adding enough reserved cooking liquid to moisten as needed. Serve with the Parmesan.

Time 1h50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large onion, finely chopped
3 carrots, finely chopped
3 stalks celery, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 pounds ground turkey
1/2 cup tomato paste
1 cup dry white wine
2 cups chicken broth
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
1 cup whole milk (do not use skim milk)
1 pound pasta of choice
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves or parsley leaves, chopped
Grated Parmesan, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oil and butter in a large heavy-bottom saucepan over medium heat until the butter melts. Add the onions, carrots and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and the onion is translucent, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic and oregano and cook, stirring frequently, for 1 minute.
  • Add the turkey and cook, breaking up clumps of the meat, until it is no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook 5 minutes longer, stirring frequently.
  • Pour in the wine and scrape the bottom of the pan to remove any browned bits. Simmer until the wine is reduced by half. Add the broth and salt and pepper to taste and cook, covered, for 1 hour over low heat. Add the milk and simmer for 20 minutes more, stirring occasionally to keep the sauce from burning. Season again with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to package directions or your favorite method. Drain the pasta and fold it into the sauce. Serve topped with basil and Parmesan.

PENNE BOLOGNESE



Penne Bolognese image

This is a streamlined version of the classic Bolognese meat sauce that is fairly low fat. The penne pasta is perfect for trapping the chunky sauce, but you can substitute other sturdy pasta shapes, such as rigatoni or ziti. Serve with a salad, crusty garlic bread and a good Italian red wine for a great meal!
