Easy Pasta with Turkey & Veggie Marinara

Ingredients:

• 1 lb. pasta (we love Trader Joe’s Brown Rice & Quinoa Fusilli, or Barilla Gluten-Free Spaghetti)
• 1 lb. ground turkey or Italian chicken sausage
• 1 bell pepper, chopped
• 1 zucchini, chopped
• 1 cup mushrooms, chopped
• 2 large carrots, chopped (or about 3/4 cup baby carrots chopped)
• 1 large jar of marinara sauce (look for one with no added sugars)
• Parmesan cheese

Directions:

1. Bring a large pot of water to boil. Cook the pasta according to the directions.
2. While the pasta cooks, add the turkey or sausage to a large pan and crumble and cook it until it’s no longer pink.
3. Add in the chopped veggies and cook for another 5-7 minutes.
4. Add the marinara sauce into the meat and veggie pan and let it simmer for about 5-10 minutes.
5. Into each bowl, add pasta, sauce and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
6. Serve & enjoy!
