Cacciatore with a Twist
1 c Uncooked Rotini (Spiral
Pasta) I had multicolored 2 ts Olive Oil

1/2 lb Turkey Breast cut into
Strips 15 oz Can Garbanzo Beans
15 oz Can Tomato Sauce

Cook rotini to desired doneness as directed on package. Drain; keep warm. Meanwhile, heat
oil in large non stick skillet over medium hear until hot. Add onion, bell pepper, garlic, and
turkey; cook and stir 5 to 10 minutes or until turkey is no longer pink. ( I cooked the onion for
awhile first, added the meat and pepper and then finally in the last few minutes added the
garlic...I don't like over done garlic). Add tomato sauce, beans and oregano; mix well. Bring
to boil. Reduce heat; cover and simer 10 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Serve over
rotini. 4 servings

Bonus idea.... Instead of rotini use radiatore (pasta nuggets) and cannellini beans.. with
another type meat if wanted. This is another recipe in the same issue. They suggest to serve
with parmesan cheese Recipe By :
