Whole Wheat Spaghetti with ground turkey
Those who know me well know I have an amateurish passion for cooking and explore everything food, from the conventional to the not so conventional. Last Saturday my wife and I had visitors and I when I was about to call for pizza, my wife asked me to cook something instead, she knows it doesn't require much for me to obey that command since I'm really passionate about cooking and is like therapy for me. So I checked my pantry and fridge to see what I got and came up with the following...
1 box of whole wheat spaghetti
2 small trays of ground turkey
1 can of light beer
Olive oil
1 envelope of Sazón Goya
Adobo Goya
Sofrito Goya
5 or 6 slices of Velveeta cheese
Ketchup (eyeballing of course)
Procedure
I put olive oil on the pot and start browning the ground turkey, once it has some color, I add the can of beer (I use beer instead of stock, believe me is awesome), add the envelope of Sazón, the Adobo and sofrito and let it simmer for about 30 to 45 mins. in medium heat until most of the liquid is gone. For the pasta, I put water to a boil with salt and olive oil, once the water is boiling I put the pasta for 11 minutes (11 mins. is perfect for whole wheat to get an al dente texture). Once both the ground turkey and the pasta are ready, I mixed them until they're well integrated, then add the slices of cheese and the ketchup mix again until all the cheese is melted and the ketchup is well integrated to the mix. You can serve with a garlic/oregano butter on toast.
