Ingredients

  • 190 g macaroni
  • 340 g turkey mince
  • 300 g crushed tomatoes
  • 120 g onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 1/4 tsp olive oil
  • 1 pinch salt

Method, step by step

  1. Bring plenty of salted water to the boil and cook the macaroni for the time on the packet (about 10-11 minutes). Drain and set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, finely chop the onion and garlic and sauté them with the olive oil in a wide frying pan over medium heat for 5 minutes, until the onion is translucent.
  3. Turn up the heat, add the turkey mince, and brown it, breaking it up with the spoon, for 5-6 minutes, until it is no longer pink.
  4. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook over medium heat for 8 minutes, until the sauce thickens and reduces.
  5. Add the drained macaroni to the frying pan, toss for 1 minute so it soaks up the Bolognese, and serve hot.
