A super easy, yummy, kid-friendly pasta casserole. It goes together really quickly and it’s a hit every time!
INGREDIENTS
- 2 ½ cups farfalle (bow-tie) pasta
- 1 pound ground turkey
- ¾ cup ready to use tomato sauce
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning blend
- 1 pinch garlic salt
- ¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¾ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon poppy seeds
DIRECTIONS
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook bow-tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground turkey in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low and add sauce, brown sugar, Italian seasoning, and garlic salt. Let simmer for 1 to 2 minutes; remove from heat and cover.
- Drain cooked pasta and pour into a medium casserole dish. Stir in mozzarella cheese, Cheddar cheese, and poppy seeds. Spread turkey mixture on top and serve.
