I don't think I've made pasta in about 18 months - its just not my favorite food. But, combined with ground turkey meatballs and an awesome sauce and you've got yourself a meal! I have always made my own tomato sauce, its pretty simple and cuts out the sugars and fats in jarred sauce.
Turkey Parmesan Meatballs
1 lb ground turkey - 93% lean
1/4 cup bread crumbs - unseasoned
1 egg white
1/4 parmesan cheese
2 tsps tomato sauce
Salt, ground black pepper, basil, oregano & parsley
Mix together all ingredients and form into 1 1/2 inch balls. Grill on the George Foreman for about 8 minutes or until cooked through. Alternatively, cook in a medium sized skillet browning on each side. Once cooked, drain well on a plate covered with paper towels. Makes about 18 meatballs.
Spicy Pepper Tomato Sauce
1 can diced tomatoes
20 slices of hot cherry peppers
Salt, ground black pepper, basil, red pepper flake
Cook all ingredients together in a medium sized sauce pan for 40 minutes or until thickened.
Serve together over penne cooked according to directions on the package - 10-12 minutes in boiling water.
