Ingredients
  

  • 1 Cup Tomato Sauce Or Crushed Tomatoes
  • 1 Cup Ground  Turkey
  • 1 Cup Spinach
  • ½ Cup Chopped Onion
  • 2 Garlic Cloves
  • 3 tbsp. Parmesan
  • 1 ½ Cup Penne Pasta
  • 1 tsp. Oregano
  • ¼ tsp. Black Pepper
  • ¼ tsp. Salt

Instructions
 

  • Add onion and garlic to the pan. You can cook using olive oil or adding water. Add turkey and spices. Cook for 5-7 minutes.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook according to package instructions.
  • Add sauce, turkey, and spinach to the pasta.
  • Mix. If desired, simmer for up to 5 minutes. Serve with Parmesan cheese.

Notes

Cook Evenness: Use a non-stick skillet to ensure the turkey cooks evenly and doesn't stick.
Pasta Cooking Precision: Cook the penne until just al dente to prevent it from becoming mushy when mixed with the sauce and turkey. Reserve some pasta water to adjust the sauce's consistency if needed.
Plating Techniques: Use tongs to twirl pasta into nests on plates for an elegant presentation.
