One Pot Turkey Rigatoni Food

ONE POT TURKEY RIGATONI

Steps:

• In a large skillet type pot brown the ground turkey over medium heat, I always spray my pan with a little cooking spray.
• Once the turkey has browned add in the garlic, peppers and onions and stir for a few minutes. Add in the canned tomatoes, tomato paste, broth, seasonig and salt/pepper and stir well, then add in the pasta.
• Bring to a light boil then turn heat down to simmer to let the pasta cook, about 12 minutes, stir often so the pasta does not stick to the bottom of the pan. If the sauce feels too thick you can add in a little more broth/water.
• Serve once the pasta is cooked. Makes 10-1 cup servings. Store in the fridge, this dish will freeze well.

• Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the leeks, celery, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and just starting to caramelize, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the garlic until softened, about 1 minute. Add the rigatoni and white wine and cook, stirring occasionally, until the wine has almost evaporated and is thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the lemon juice, 1 1/2 cups water, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and stir to combine. Cook, stirring frequently, until the liquid has almost evaporated and the pasta is al dente, 14 to 16 minutes. Add the lemon zest, peas, mozzarella, Parmesan, heavy cream, capers, rosemary, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of pepper and cook, stirring, until the cheese is melted and the peas are warm, about 2 minutes. Divide between 2 serving bowls and garnish with celery leaves.
