Provided by ShannonB

Number Of Ingredients 12

For the herbed tagliatelle:
500 g / 1 lb 2 oz lean minced turkey
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 small onion, peeled and finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 carrot, peeled and finely chopped
2 sticks celery, finely chopped
2 x 400g cans chopped tomatoes
340 g/12oz dried tagliatelle
6-8 tbsp finely chopped mixed herbs (eg parsley and tarragon)

Steps:

  • Place the turkey, garlic, cumin and cinnamon in a bowl and using your hands, mix well until combined. Season well. Cover and chill in the fridge for 1 hour to let the flavors develop. Meanwhile, make the sauce by placing a large non-stick frying pan over high heat. Add the onion, garlic, carrot and celery. Stir and cook over medium heat for 6-8 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer gently for 25-30 minutes. Season well. For the meatballs: Make small round balls from the mince mixture. Add the meatballs to the sauce. Stir to coat evenly and simmer gently for 12-15 minutes or until cooked through. While the meatballs are cooking, cook the pasta, drain well, stir in the herbs and season well. Divide the tagliatelle between 4 plates and top with the meatballs. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • To make sure the turkey meatballs are cooked through, use a meat thermometer to ensure they have reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also cut into a meatball to check if it is cooked. If the inside is no longer pink, it is cooked through.
  • To make the herbed tagliatelle, use fresh herbs for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount.
  • Cook the tagliatelle according to the package instructions. Be careful not to overcook it, as it will become mushy.
  • Serve the turkey meatballs with the herbed tagliatelle and your favorite sauce. You can also add a side of vegetables or salad.

Conclusion:

Turkey meatballs with herbed tagliatelle is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The meatballs are flavorful and juicy, and the tagliatelle is light and fluffy. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
