I am always trying new ideas for Ragu. While my favorite is an old Sicilian Beef & Pork, this Turkey & Bean is a amazing alternative and much healthier as well. You can increase the heat by adding some additional red pepper flake, an including all the seeds from the Serrano and even a extra pepper if you like. :)
1. Cook pasta according to boxed or bagged directions. Strain, set aside
2. While pasta is cooking, heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat add evoo (extra virgin olive oil)
3. Once the oil is hot, add the onion saute for 2 minutes, then add the garlic, saute for 2 minutes, then add the Serrano pepper and saute for 1 minute. Add the ground turkey and green beans, and continue to cook breaking the meat up into small bits.
4. Once the meat has lost most of the pink color, add the black pepper, salt, red pepper flake, oregano and parsley, stir well and cook for 1-2 minutes, then add the chopped tomatoes and tomato sauce. Stir well, reduce heat to low, cover and let simmer for 15 minutes stirring occasionally.
5. Taste adjust spices,stir, and remove from heat
6. Add serving of cooked pasta to a bowl, and top with ragu, some Pecorino Romano cheese and some fresh parsley for garnish if wanted.
