Turkey with Pasta
Tender turkey intertwines with al dente pasta, tomatoes, garlic, and herbs—each ingredient singing a note of comfort. In the heart of this satisfying dish, the warm meat brings depth as the pasta embraces every savory drop.
Ingredients
- 2 turkey legs, cut into portions
- 500 g pasta
- 4 ripe tomatoes, finely chopped
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 cinnamon stick
- Salt
- Pepper
- Sweet paprika
- Olive oil
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat some olive oil and sauté the turkey pieces. Once browned, remove them and set aside in a bowl.
- In the same pot, sauté the onion and garlic in the remaining oil. Add the cinnamon stick and chopped tomatoes, and cook everything together for about 2 minutes.
- Return the turkey to the pot, cover with water, add salt, and simmer on low heat for 45-50 minutes, until the turkey is tender and the sauce has thickened. Add a little extra water if necessary during cooking.
For the Pasta
- In a separate pot, bring water to a boil with some salt. Once boiling, add the pasta, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook for about 20 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked to your preference.
- Drain the pasta and return it to the pot. For a richer flavor, instead of butter, try tossing the pasta with a little hot olive oil. The aroma of olive oil is exceptional.
