INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1/4 cup Dry Red Lentils
2 oz Dry Chickpea Pasta
1/2 cup Crushed Tomatoes
1/4 cup Diced Onion
1 Garlic Clove, minced
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Rinse the red lentils under cold water. In a separate small pot, combine the lentils with water (using a 2:1 water to lentils ratio) and simmer until just tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain any excess water and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet. Cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, approximately 6-8 minutes.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes and cooked lentils, allowing the sauce to simmer for 3-4 minutes so the flavors meld together. Season with salt, pepper, or your favorite herbs if desired.
Combine the cooked pasta with the bolognese sauce, mixing well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
Serve hot and enjoy your hearty yet healthy protein-packed pasta bolognese.
