Ragu

This is a quick, easy, and cheap way to make Ragu. Italian food is all about simplicity and utilizing quality ingredients. The San Marzano crushed tomatoes are so tasty they hardly need any other seasonings. Therefore with 3 ingredients you can make a great ragu sauce.

Serves 4

Ingredients:
1 box fusilli whole wheat pasta
1 can San Marzano crushed tomatoes
1 package of ground turkey meat
sea salt
Optional: 1 teaspoon garlic powder
1-2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon paprika
Parmesan cheese

Preparation:
1. Cook the fusilli according to the packaged directions
2. In a pan over medium-high heat, coat the pan with non stick spray. Once the pan is heated, add the turkey, sprinkle with salt and brown on both sides (about 3-4 minutes). With a spoon, break the turkey into pieces and cook for another 2 minutes.
3. Add the can of San Marzano crushed tomatoes and sprinkle with salt. At this point you can leave as is or you can add the extra spices if you have them on handy.
4. Once the pasta is cooked, drain in a colander and return to the pot. Pour the sauce from the pan to the pot and mix until the pasta and ragu are well combined. At this point you can serve as is or top with some Parmesan cheese (I suggest buying a good quality Parmesan cheese).
