Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 carrot peeled and finely chopped
  • 1 celery stalk finely chopped
  • 1 pound shredded cooked turkey
  • 3 cups tomato basil marinara sauce
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 lb linguini
  • Parmesan Cheese

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a heavy large frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the carrot and celery and saute until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the turkey and saute 1 minute. Add the marinara sauce. Decrease the heat to medium-low and simmer gently for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to blend, stirring often. Stir in the basil. Season the sauce, to taste, with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring often, about 8 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Add the pasta to the sauce and toss to coat, adding enough reserved cooking liquid to moisten as needed. Serve with the Parmesan and a glass of wine if you'd like. Because let's be honest, you deserve it!
