Baked Fusilli with Asiago

The genius factor with this recipe is that the ground turkey need not be cooked before mixing it with the remaining ingredients...and the end result is divine!

Ingredients
 

  • 6 ounces fusilli, or similar pasta, cooked according to package directions
  • 2 cups Basic Marinara Sauce (or your favorite store-bought; I like Rao's)
  • 1 cup mozzarella, shredded
  • ¼ cup Asiago cheese, shredded
  • 6 ounces ground turkey (can substitute ground beef or sausage)
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Combine pasta, marinara, half of each cheese, ground turkey, and salt in a large bowl. (I find it easiest to use my hand to break up the meat and evenly distribute throughout the pasta mixture.)
  2. Transfer to a greased 8x8 baking dish and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake at 350℉ for 30 minutes or until cheese is lightly browned. Let stand five minutes before serving.

Notes

If inclined to make your own sauce, Basic Marinara Sauce is a delicious recipe that can be made ahead and freezes well.
