Ingredients
- 1 large onion finely chopped
- 2 large garlic cloves minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil extra virgin
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 14 ounces can tomato sauce or passata (I like Mutti)
- 14 ounces can coconut milk full fat or light
- 2 1/2 cups chicken broth low sodium
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 cups rigatoni, penne or fusilli pasta dry
- 1 1/2 cups green peas frozen
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or basil finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat large Dutch oven on medium-high heat and swirl olive oil to coat. Add onion and garlic, saute for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add ground turkey and cook for 5 minutes, constantly breaking into small pieces and stirring.
- Add Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, tomato sauce, coconut milk, chicken broth, salt and pepper. Stir and bring to a boil.
- Add pasta, stir, cover and bring to a boil.Then reduce heat to low and simmer for 13 minutes or until pasta is al dente.
- Turn off heat, add peas and gently mix to combine. Let stand covered for 3-4 minutes to let peas thaw. After adjust seasonings and consistency with more broth, if necessary.
- Garnish with parsley or basil and serve hot.
Notes
- Store: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Reheat by simmering on low heat in the pot on the stove with a bit more broth or in a microwave.
- Freeze: Pasta doesn’t freeze well, so I don’t recommend to do so.
