I like to take recipes and make them my own...change things, add things. Tonight I am fixing something inspired by a pasta dish that Giada makes. (Pasta Alla Formiana) Which by the way, is PHENOMENAL! Here is how I am doing it...
Baked Penne with Turkey & Tomato Sauce
1.25 lbs of ground turkey
1/2 cup diced onion (yellow)
1/4 cup dried oregano (sounds like a lot, but its perfect)
2 t kosher salt
1/2 t fresh ground pepper
1.5 T minced garlic
2 T olive oil
1 cup penne pasta
1/3 cup olive oil
1 can diced tomatoes 15 oz.
1 can tomato sauce 15 oz.
I started out sauteing my diced onion in the 2 T olive oil over medium/high heat. Once they start to soften and become translucent, I added in the garlic. I cooked that for about 2 minutes. I then added in the turkey meat and cooked through. Meanwhile, I took my 2 quart corning ware dish, and mixed the pasta, two cans of tomatoes/sauce, salt, pepper, oregano, and 1/3 cup olive oil. Once the turkey was cooked, I added that mixture into the pasta mixture. You bake uncovered for 1 hour at 450 degrees. If you want to, you can add a Parmesan or Italian blend cheese on top the last 10-15 minutes.
Let cool for at least 5 minutes once out of the oven.
Eat & enjoy! = )
I MAY even post a pic of this later on!
