Easy dinner in an hour!

Prep

You will need a large pot, a skillet, a baking dish, and aluminum foil. Cut the cream cheese into six pieces.

Step One

Cook the Penne Pasta in boiling water until it is Cooked “al dente” or firm to bite but still cooked through. This usually takes around 8 minutes. Drain the pasta.

Step Two

Cut the Cream Cheese into six pieces and stir them into the pasta while it is still warm. Combine until fully melted.

Step Three

Brown 1/2 lb. of Ground Turkey in a skillet over medium-high heat until mostly cooked but slightly pink. This should take about 5 minutes.

Step Four

Combine the Penne Pasta and browned Ground Turkey in a baking dish. Pour Tomato Sauce over the mixture and stir it in a bit to ensure all the pasta is coated. Sprinkle Shredded Mozzarella Cheese on top, ensuring its evenly covered.

Step Five

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in an oven preheated to 415°F for 20 minutes.

Step Six

Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 20-25 minutes until the cheese on top is slightly browned and bubbly. Enjoy!
