I stole this recipe from Pinterest, the night I planned to make it, I accidentally fell sleep on the couch (it's great to not have children). My husband asked me what I planned on making and I threw my phone with the recipe on it to him. I woke up and dinner was almost ready and heading into the oven. For those of you who know my husband knows he does NOT cook and it just shows how easy this little treat is to make.
To Make Enough for 6-8 Servings, You will need:
1 Tablespoon of olive oil
1 medium Onion, chopped
2 large Garlic Clove, minced
¼ teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
¾ pound Ground Turkey
4 Cups cooked Pasta Shells
2 ½ Cups Marinara Sauce (canned or homemade)
¼ Cup chopped fresh Parsley
1 ½ Cup shredded Monterey Jack Cheese (divided)
¼ cup grated fresh Parmesan Cheese
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9X13 dish with nonstick spray.
2. In a large pan, heat the oil over the medium-heat and add onion, garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté until onions have softened, about 4 minutes. Crumble in the ground turkey and cook until the turkey is browned about 5 minutes. Stir in pasta, marinara sauce, parsley and 1 cup of the cheese.
Spoon the pasta mixture into the prepared dish. Sprinkle remaining ½ cup of cheese on top and the Parmesan cheese too.
3. Bake until cheese is melted and bubbly about 20 minutes.
