Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Bow tie pasta (farfalle)
- 1 lb Ground turkey
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 Yellow onion, diced
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 Zucchini, diced
- 1 Red bell pepper, diced
- 15 oz Canned crushed tomatoes
- 1 cup Chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 0.5 tsp Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the bow tie pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked.
Push the turkey to one side of the skillet and add the diced onion. Cook for 2-3 minutes until softened, then add the minced garlic. Stir and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the diced zucchini and red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, chicken or vegetable broth, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let cook for 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Reduce the heat to low and add the cooked pasta to the skillet. Toss to coat the pasta in the sauce and combine the ingredients evenly.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the skillet and stir until melted and incorporated into the dish. Adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper, if needed.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot. Enjoy your Turkey Bow Tie Skillet!
