INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
2/3 cup cooked Whole Wheat Pasta
1/2 cup Tomato Basil Sauce
2 tbsp shredded Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic, minced
1/8 tsp Red Chili Flakes
4 fresh Basil leaves, chopped
PREPARATION
Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red chili flakes, stirring until aromatic, about 30 seconds.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet. Cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until it is fully browned and cooked through.
Pour in the tomato basil sauce and stir to combine. Allow the sauce to simmer for 3-4 minutes so that flavors meld; add chopped fresh basil during the last minute of simmering.
While the sauce simmers, prepare the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Toss the cooked pasta with the turkey and tomato basil sauce. Sprinkle the shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese on top and stir gently so the cheese softens slightly from the residual heat.
Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve warm, garnished with a few extra basil leaves if desired.
