My Cheesy Salsa Pasta was such a huge hit around our house that I wanted to try making something that was similar to it, but with different flavors. This time I decided to try it with an Italian spin on it, replacing salsa with regular tomatoes and adding some Italian seasoning. I left out the cream cheese and used a little cornstarch in white wine to thicken it up. All in all, it went over really well here.
Ingredients
6 oz uncooked pasta
3/4 pound extra lean ground turkey
1 cup chopped onions
1/4 cup minced garlic
2 cans diced, no salt added tomatoes, drained
2 cups low sodium beef broth
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
Directions
Cook the pasta according to the directions on the box. Cook the turkey, onions and garlic together in a large skillet until cooked thoroughly. Add the beef broth, Italian seasoning, and tomatoes. Whisk the cornstrach into the wine, then pour into the skillet. Let it come to a boil. Add the pasta and cheese to the skillet. Simmer until the sauce becomes thick.
