Ingredients
- 6 2/3 oz (190 g) macaroni
- 12 oz (340 g) ground turkey
- 1 1/4 cups (300 g) crushed tomatoes
- 4 oz (120 g) onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 1/4 tsp (11 ml) olive oil
- 1 pinch salt
How to make it, step by step
- Bring plenty of salted water to a boil and cook the macaroni for the time on the package (about 10-11 minutes). Drain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, finely chop the onion and garlic and sauté them with the olive oil in a wide skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes, until the onion is translucent.
- Turn up the heat, add the ground turkey, and brown it, breaking it up with the spoon, for 5-6 minutes, until it is no longer pink.
- Stir in the crushed tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook over medium heat for 8 minutes, until the sauce thickens and reduces.
- Add the drained macaroni to the skillet, toss for 1 minute so it soaks up the Bolognese, and serve hot.
