So one thing I honestly can’t deal with when searching for a recipe is reading through these food blog pages that are like, 200 paragraphs long and have 15 pictures with 37 specific ingredients. I’m like, “hello.. please just give me a simple recipe that tastes good and doesn’t take a where’s Waldo search to find the actual directions” LOL. I’ll be using word press to also share some of my favorite, easy, macro friendly recipes. So here you go!
Ingredients:
– handful of chopped onions (I didn’t measure this, I just had some pre-chopped onions left over)
– 1 TBS of garlic paste (you can use one garlic clove in place of this)
– 1 cup of spinach
– 9oz 99% lean ground turkey
– 9oz mild Italian Turkey Sausage
– 3 servings (360g) Dave’s Gourmet butternut squash pasta sauce
– pasta of choice (I used Banza rigatoni)
Directions:
In a saucepan, sauté the onions and garlic (the onions will be ready when they are translucent). I usually do this over medium heat and cover with a lid. Once the onions turn, add in your meat. For seasonings with this dish, I used salt, pepper, a tiny pinch of dried/rubbed sage, and some Italian seasoning blend (peppers, fennel, oregano, etc). Start cooking the meat, then add the spinach to start wilting down as well. Once the meat is just about done, add in the pasta sauce, mix thoroughly and bring to a boil.
Combine sauce with pasta and top with some grated parmesan cheese!
* I cooked the Banza pasta separately because I wanted to make this recipe in MFP for just the sauce, so I could add as much or as little pasta as I wanted to.
