  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 8 oz pasta of your choice
  • 2 cups Homemade Simple Pasta Sauce (see recipe below)

Prepare the Turkey Meatballs: In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese and dried oregano. Mix until well combined. Roll the mixture into small meatballs.

Cook the Pasta: Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Cook the Turkey Meatballs: In a skillet over medium heat, add a bit of olive oil. Once hot, add the turkey meatballs and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.

Add Homemade Simple Pasta Sauce: Pour the Homemade Simple Pasta Sauce into the skillet with the cooked meatballs. Stir to combine and let simmer for a few minutes until heated through.

Combine Pasta and Meatballs: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the meatballs and sauce. Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated in the sauce.

FOR THE SAUCE:

  • 1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Sauté Garlic: In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Add Tomatoes: Pour in the crushed tomatoes and stir to combine with the garlic.

Season: Add dried basil and dried oregano. Stir well to incorporate.

Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken.
