Ingredients

Pasta

  • 8 ounces Penne Pasta (Feel free to replace with any pasta shape you love.)
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (Canola or vegetable oil works just as well if preferred.)
  • 1 medium Yellow Onion (Red onion can give a sharper twist if desired.)
  • 1 pound Ground Turkey (Substitute with turkey or ground beef for variety.)
  • 1 teaspoon Salt (Enhances all flavors; adjust per your dietary requirements.)
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper (Freshly cracked is recommended for maximum flavor.)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning (Swap with dried oregano, basil, and thyme if needed.)
  • 2 cloves Garlic (Minced; garlic powder can also work in a pinch.)
  • 2 tablespoons All-purpose Flour (Gluten-free flour can be a great alternative.)
  • 1 cup Chicken Broth (Vegetable broth is an excellent vegetarian option.)
  • 1 cup Tomato Sauce (Canned diced tomatoes can achieve a chunkier texture.)
  • ½ cup Half-and-half (Replace with heavy cream or non-dairy milk if desired.)
  • 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese (Substitute with provolone or dairy-free cheese.)
  • 1 cup Cheddar Cheese (Use any melty cheese you enjoy.)
  • ¼ cup Fresh Parsley (Sprinkling adds a fresh note to the presentation.)
  • 1 teaspoon Red Chili Flakes (Optional for a little kick; omit or substitute with fresh chili if desired.)

Instructions 

  • Cook the pasta according to package instructions; drain and set aside.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; sauté chopped onion and minced garlic until fragrant.
  • Add ground turkey, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning; cook until browned.
  • Stir in flour, then gradually add chicken broth and tomato sauce; simmer until slightly thickened.
