Pumpkin Bolognese

Pumpkin Bolognese

Makes about 4 serving

  • 2 Tbs. olive oil

  • 4 stalks celery, thinly sliced

  • 1 medium sweet potato peeled and grated

  • 1 onion, grated

  • 1 cup green cabbage (chopped - this is optional but used it because I had it)

  • Kosher salt

  • 1 lb ground turkey

  • 1 cup canned pumpkin

  • 2 Tbs. tomato past

  • 2 cups stock or water

  • 2 Tbs. apple cider vinegar

  • 3/4 lb dried pasta of your choice

  • 1 cup grated Parmesan

    Serve with chili flakes

In a large pan, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add the celery, sweet potato, onion, and a large pinch of salt and cook for about 8 to 10 minutes or until the vegetables are super soft.

Add in the ground turkey and cook for another 5 minutes or until the turkey is cooked through and browned. Add the pumpkin, tomato paste, stock, apple cider vinegar, and another pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes or until sauce thickens and comes together. Taste for more salt if needed.

In a large pot of boiling salted water cook the dried pasta according to the packaging instructions.

Toss the pasta in the sauce and top with Parmesan cheese and chili flake.

Serve immediately.
