After several dessert recipes, I thought I'd be be good to give you all an actual healthy meal that is so tasty and quick to prepare. And if any of you find that grains are't the best for you, you can always use this to top spaghetti squash, zucchini noodles or cauliflower 'risotto'. I don't know about you, but I've always found that onions,balsamic, garlic and tomatoes just hit the spot. Its like a cute little Italian grandmother is smothering me with love. This it also a great way to add kale to your day, even if you don't love it. This meal was so delicious the cat(lucky) even wanted some;)
Ingredients (serves 6):
-2 tbsps olive oil
-1 package free-range ground turkey
-2 tbsps balsamic vinegar
-1 large onion, chopped
-6 clover garlic, minced
-2 zucchinis, chopped
-2 cups tomato sauce
-1 tbsp Italian seasoning
-1/2 teaspoon thyme
-1/4 teaspoon black/white pepper
-2 cups fresh kale chopped
-4 cups cooked pasta(I used trader joe's quinoa and brown rice)
-Parmesan or Romano cheese for topping
Directions: * In a large skillet,on medium heat, heat the olive oil then add the turkey, half way through browning add the balsamic. Once fully/ nearly brown, add the onions and garlic. When the onions start to turn clear add the zucchini and cook until almost clear. Add the tomato sauce and spices, cook for 5 minutes then add the kale and cook til wilted. Serve over desired pasta and sprinkle with cheese, enjoy!
*in a separate pot boil water and salt, add the pasta to the water when you add the onions, cook as instructed, drain and drizzle on olive oil before topping with sauce
