Description
A quick and easy one-pot turkey bolognese sauce served over rigatoni. This dish is perfect for a cozy, family-friendly weeknight meal.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound lean ground turkey
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pound rigatoni pasta
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain off any excess fat.
- Add chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
- Stir in crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
- Add rigatoni pasta and chicken broth to the pot. Stir to combine, ensuring the pasta is submerged in the liquid.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked al dente and the sauce has thickened. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Serve hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
Notes
- For a spicier sauce, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the other seasonings.
- You can substitute other pasta shapes like penne or farfalle.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
