Change the flavor of this family classic simply by substituting a different sauce, such as puttanesca or roasted vegetable. Like most pasta dishes, this is wonderful with the addition of freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
Fennel and Turkey Bolognese with Quinoa Pasta
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet with lid over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until translucent, stirring frequently, about 8 minutes. Add fennel and stir 1 minute more. Add turkey and sauté until almost cooked through, breaking up clumps. Add marinara sauce and simmer, covered, 15 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to boil. Add pasta and cook al dente, 7–10 minutes (or per package instructions). Drain, mix into sauce, and serve immediately.
