1 large onion, chopped

1 lb ground turkey

1 tbsp olive oil, extra virgin

3 cups any short pasta

3 cups veggie or chicken stock, low sodium

1 tsp salt

Ground black pepper, to taste

1 lb broccoli florets

3 tomatoes, diced

1–2 garlic cloves, grated

Red pepper flakes, a pinch

1/2 cup parsley, finely chopped

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

STEPS

1. Preheat large Dutch oven or pot on medium heat and swirl oil to coat. Add onion and saute for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Add ground turkey and cook for 5 minutes, breaking into pieces and stirring with spatula. Add pasta, stock, salt and pepper; stir and level with spatula.
3. Then cover and cook on low heat for 10-12 minutes, checking after 10 minutes. Brown rice and any gluten free pasta cooks faster than wheat.
4. When past is al dente (not too soft, so it doesn’t become a mush), turn off heat and add broccoli, tomato,  garlic and red pepper flakes. Stir, cover and let stand for 5 minutes.
