cheesyturkeypastabake

I&#39;ve made this baked pasta with all the ingredients sauteed and simmered in one pot! Baked pasta is an easy weeknight meal that is made with vegetables, sauce, seasoning, pasta, and cheese. You get everything in one pot! All simmered in one pan topped with cheese and baked until gooey and melted! I’ve made so many delicious versions of this. It&#39;s so hard to choose which is my favorite but this one is definitely up there and my top two!! I made this with ground turkey, cajun and italian seasonings, and a jar of sauce to keep it simple yet the best is that it&#39;s delicious. And my secret ingredient is a block of cream cheese! Topped with colby jack and mozzarella and baked till ooey gooey! I have a sneaky suspicion. This first time you make this, will not be the last! Let&#39;s make it!!

Turkey Pasta Bake

whole small bell green pepper (chopped)

onion

garlic

tsp Tony's Creole seasoning divided

onion powder

garlic powder divided

Italian seasoning

tsp smoked paprika

tsp crushed red pepper flakes

28 oz RAO’s marinara

oz cream cheese

turkey

olive oil

mozzarella (shredded)

colby jack (shredded)

pasta

Black pepper

-boil the rigatoni pasta until al dente

-add olive oil to oven safe pan or castiron

-add the chopped bell pepper and onion to pan to saute, on medium heat for about 3-5 minutes

-add all of the seasonings and chopped garlic to pan and saute another 2-3  minutes before adding turkey

-Add the turkey to pan saute together on medium/ medium high until lightly browned

-add a jar of marinara sauce, add a quarter cup of water to jar to get the rest of sauce, then add to the pan

-Mix everything together, let it come to a boil, lower it to a simmer, and let that simmer for about 5 minutes

-add the block of cream cheese to melt, gently break it up with a spoon,

on medium low heat and stir until fully combined and the sauce is a pink color

-add the rigatoni to the pan and stir until completely combined.

-top it with shredded mozzarella and colby jack cheese

- pop it in the oven for 5-10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and melty!

This is delicious! I omitted the Cajun seasoning but otherwise made as directed. It’s more interesting than a typical baked ziti but still super easy with the jarred sauce. Will definitely make again!
