Recipe: Protein Spaghetti
Jul 01, 2024
I'm excited to share one of my easy, go-to recipes with you: Protein Spaghetti! 🍝 This is a super easy and tasty pasta dish.
Savory ground turkey, hearty chickpea pasta, and a medley of aromatic herbs and spices, all simmered together in a rich marinara sauce. Trust me, your taste buds are in for a treat! Plus, it's perfect for meal prep – just whip up a double batch and thank yourself later when you have delicious lunches or dinners ready to go for the week.
I'm all about efficiency in the kitchen, which is why I love doubling this recipe and preparing it for a week of meal prep. It's a lifesaver for busy days when cooking from scratch isn't an option. Simply portion out the servings into containers, pop them in the fridge or freezer, and voila – instant homemade meals whenever you need!
And let me tell you, this recipe saves like a champ and reheats beautifully. Let's go into the ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 1.7 lbs Ground Turkey: Packed with protein and flavor, this lean meat will be the star of our dish.
- 8 oz Dry Chickpea Pasta: A healthier alternative to traditional pasta, chickpea pasta is gluten-free and loaded with fiber and nutrients.
- 1 Medium Onion: Adds a sweet and savory depth to our sauce.
- 3 Cloves of Garlic: Because, let's be honest, garlic makes everything better.
- 3 Cups of Rao's Marinara: Feel free to use your favorite store-bought marinara sauce, or if you're feeling adventurous, whip up a batch of my homemade marinara (recipe link below)!
- 1.5 tbs Italian Seasoning: A blend of oregano, basil, thyme, and more – the secret weapon for adding that classic Italian flavor.
- 2 tbs Oil: Your preference of oil, that can withstand high heats and is less processed.
- 2 Cups of Spinach: Sneak in some extra greens for added nutrition and color.
- 1 Whole Spaghetti Squash: Swap traditional spaghetti for spaghetti squash for a low-carb twist!
- Salt and Pepper to Taste: Seasoning is key to elevating the flavors of our dish.
- Top with Cheese or Cottage Cheese to Taste: Optional, but highly recommended for a creamy finish. (Not included in Nutrition Content)
