Method
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve about one cup of pasta water before draining.
- While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Break it apart with a spoon and cook until it's no longer pink. Drain any excess fat.
- Stir in the crushed tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Continue to stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the sauce. Toss everything together until the pasta is well-coated. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water. Stir in the fresh basil, serve immediately, and enjoy!
Notes
Tip 1: Don't overcook the ground turkey to ensure it stays moist and tender.
Tip 2: Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the creamiest sauce, as it melts better than pre-shredded varieties.
