Dante's Pasta e Fagioli
Food
Cover the bottom of a pot with EVOO, three crushed garlic cloves, red pepper flakes and a little salt. Brown the garlic.
Add ground turkey, chopped up, with salt. Brown it, then take the turkey out and set it aside.
Add EVOO, red pepper flakes, crushed garlic and salt. Add mushrooms, chopped onions, chopped celery and a little bit of A1 sauce. Let that all brown.
Add a quart of chicken stock (free range) and a small can of tomato paste stirred in, plus 3/4 tablespoon of sugar.
Add the turkey back in, 2 cans of cannellini beans, a little more EVOO, and one package of elbow pasta.
Add 1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano (substitute: rosemary) and a generous amount of chopped parsley. Salt to taste.
Top with Parmesan, pepper and EVOO.
A little rosemary is a nice touch - and to keep it vegetarian, just leave the turkey out.
