Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz pasta (penne or rotini)
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (14 oz) can diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions
